Alright, grab your board and let’s talk about what we’ve got coming up at La Palue. This spot is an expert-only, exposed beach break that needs a solid WSW swell direction to really fire.

We’ve got a nice little pulse of swell kicking off the period. Friday morning, July 3rd, is your standout early call. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period and a combined energy reading of 490 – that’s moderate to strong energy. Best part? A light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at just 3 mph, keeping those faces clean and lined up. This is the pick of the bunch.

After that, the energy backs off pretty quick. Saturday morning, July 4th, still has clean 4ft waves from the west with the same light wind, but the energy drops to 267. Sunday morning is smaller, around 2ft, and while it’s clean, it’s just ordinary. We then hit a long, frustrating gap. From Sunday afternoon right through to mid-week, the wind turns onshore, gets strong, and the swell gets messy and small. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Things tease back a bit on Tuesday morning, July 14th. That’s nearly two weeks out, so don’t bank on it perfectly, but there’s a 4ft swell from the west with an 11-second period and a healthy energy of 452. It’s a bit long-period for a beach break – might wall up a bit straight – but it’s early morning with light cross wind. It could be promising but it’s far off and the wind picks up onshore by afternoon.

Honestly, if you’re chasing anything over this 16-day stretch, your only real shot at a quality session is that Friday morning, July 3rd. Everything else is too small, too blown out, or just average. For an expert spot like this, it’s a hit-and-run game—so make that early Friday count.

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.

La Palue is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Camaret-sur-Mer. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camaret-sur-Mer. Camaret-sur-Mer has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
