Alright, talkin' La Palue here. This classic, exposed beachbreak has a bit of a rollercoaster of a forecast ahead. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no surprises there, just typical.
The next two weeks are mostly a tale of small, weak, and messy conditions, honestly. There’s a big gap of nothing much worth paddling out for from the start, with only small, ordinary surf on offer. The few windows we get are short-lived. The standout, and it's really the only true standout in the whole run, is setting up for the morning of Monday the 7th of July. Glassy conditions, which is a major score, with a small 3-foot groundswell from the WNW. The period is 8 seconds, so it's a little short, but the complete calm means it'll be clean and super fun on a longboard. Wave energy is weak, reading 107, so it’s not packing a punch, but the quality is high for the size. Expect crowds, it’s a well-known spot.
After that, the middle of the week sees a bit of a pulse through Thursday morning the 10th of July. The swell bumps up a touch to 4 feet from the WNW with a weak 9-second period, energy reading 216 (moderate). It's cross-shore wind, so it won't be as glassy, but it's the most size we get before a long flat spell.
Then we go dead. From the afternoon of the 10th right through until Sunday the 20th of July, it's all tiny, weak, and onshore rubbish. The last day of the forecast, Monday the 20th, shows a bigger 6-foot onshore swell, but that's wind-blown and messy—more of a cleanup day than a good surf day. For that first quality window though, you'll have the place to yourself if you're lucky, but don't bet on it.

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.
