The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down La Palue for the next couple weeks.
First few days? Pretty rough. Onshore winds, lumpy seas – not much to get excited about. But Monday the 14th gives us a window. Glassy morning, waves around 3ft from the W with a 9-second period. Combined energy is low at 213, so not a lot of push, but it's clean. A good morning for a small-wave cruise.
Things go downhill again midweek with fresh winds and messy conditions. Friday the 18th brings a huge swell – 10ft from the WNW, 14-second period, massive energy reading of 3273. That's expert territory and way too big for this break. Not recommended.
Sunday the 20th shapes up nicely – about 6ft from the WNW with cross-off winds, clean conditions. That's your best chance for quality waves in the whole outlook. Then around Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th, we see small but clean surf with offshore breezes – 3 to 3ft, clean faces, good for a fun log session.
Nothing world-class here. The clean Monday morning and that Sunday the 20th are the pick of the bunch. Rest is mostly wind and chop.
Rusty.

Information about the La Palue Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Palue provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Palue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Palue surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Palue) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Palue may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
