The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming our way. It's a pretty bleak picture for the next two weeks, to be honest. Right now and for the foreseeable future, we're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly a wave worth paddling for.

We're kicking off Sunday the 19th with almost nothing. A tiny 2 ft swell from the NNW with a short, weak 5-second period. The water temp is 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only bright spot. The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore from the NE, but the swell has zero energy and it's just poor conditions.

That sets the tone. Day after day, through the 20th, 21st, 22nd, and beyond, the story is the same: small, weak swell, mostly from the NW or WNW, and almost always with a cross-off or cross-onshore wind that chops it up. We see a slight increase in energy around the 26th and 27th, with 4 ft to 4 ft swells, and the energy picking up, but it's still getting hammered by cross-onshore winds. It's just not coming together. Honestly, the 4 ft swell on the 26th with 15 mph cross-onshore wind looks more like a day for a kite than a surfboard out there at La Palue.

There’s a brief flicker on the morning of August 1st – a 4 ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period and light 3 mph cross-onshore wind, giving us a hint of something surfable, but it’s only a 'marginal' call. The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. We've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, but for the first time in ages, the wind goes glassy. A 3 mph SSE breeze and the report says 'glassy' – that's clean, smooth water. The energy is weak, so the waves will be small and weak, but it will be the cleanest, most user-friendly the ocean looks in this whole run.

So, looking ahead, the best bet is La Palue. The standout window is that Sunday morning, August 2nd. For the first time in over a week, you get clean conditions. Don't expect any power, but if you just want a glide on a longboard and enjoy some glass, that's your moment. Any other day in this run is best spent waxing your board or checking the forecast for a better week.

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.
