The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is gonna test your patience. La Palue is the only game in town across this whole 16-day window, and honestly, for most of it, there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any worthwhile surf until the very end of the month.

The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 28th of July. That’s a solid two-week gap of flat, weak, or messy conditions. From the 13th right through to the 27th, it’s all tiny little waves, poor conditions, and winds that just won’t cooperate. The energy is basically non-existent for most of that period, with combined swell energy limping along in the low double digits (8) for the first few days. You’ll see a few pulses of moderate energy later (around 80-90), but the wind is always on it, and the wave heights barely hit 3 ft. Not worth paddling out.

Now, the water temp is a story in itself. Right now, it’s sitting at 68°, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual – it’s like the ocean forgot it’s July.

The real turn comes right at the end of the month. On the morning of Monday, the 28th of July, things finally wake up. The swell picks up to a solid 6 ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s a bit short and punchy, but the magic is in the wind – it’s dead calm, glassy. Zero wind. That’s a major positive. The combined energy jumps to 636 – solid moderate wave energy – and the forecast actually says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the standout. La Palue is an expert wave, exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent, but with the water that warm and the wind that clean, it’s a rare window when it could actually be fun. Just be warned, it’s often crowded here, so you’ll have company.

The afternoon of the 28th drops off a bit as the onshore wind swings back in, so that morning window is the only real hero in this whole forecast. Don’t waste it.

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.
