Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Palue. It’s a pretty quiet start, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board just yet.
The first week and a bit looks pretty flat and messy. Swell is tiny, often under 2 feet, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-off, making for poor surf conditions. There’s a few glimpses of clean, tiny waves on the Monday morning of the 13th with a light offshore breeze, but with only 0.7 feet of swell and a combined energy of just 10, it’s barely a ripple. You’d be fighting for a bump. The following days are a write-off with onshore winds and very weak, short-period swell.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel comes right at the end of the fortnight. The morning of Friday the 24th of July is the standout. We’ve got a clean, head-high swell at 7 feet from the WNW, with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is a solid 317 – that’s moderate, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The water is running much warmer than normal for the time of year, about 68°, so you won’t need a thick suit. The catch is, it’s an expert-only spot with a consistent break, and it gets crowded often, so expect some company. By the afternoon, that swell jumps to 10 feet from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, but the wind swings onshore and the energy rockets to 1464, which is strong. The forecast says it’ll be too big for this break, so only the bravest and most experienced should even think about it.
The Sunday morning of the 26th of July is another promising call. The swell drops to a still-chunky 6 feet from the WNW, with a light cross-off wind from the SSE, giving clean conditions. The combined energy is 648. It’s a good option, but not quite the standout of the Friday morning.
So, the long and short of it: the first two weeks are a bust. The best surf on offer is the Friday morning of the 24th of July, but it’s for experts only. The Sunday morning of the 26th is a solid backup. The forecast for the second week is a bit less certain, but it’s all we’ve got.
Rusty.

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.
