The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch to start. From Thursday the 16th to Monday the 27th of July, the surf is tiny and the wind is messy. We’ve got a long gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is small, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-off, cross-on, onshore. Even when it’s clean, there’s just no energy to work with. The combined swell energy is in the weak range, often between 20 and 85, so it’s just not doing anything.
The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 29th of July. Now we’re talking. The morning has a 7ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a solid size, really only for expert surfers – 7ft is pushing into big territory. The wind is light and cross-shore at 6 mph, which is a big plus for keeping it fairly clean. The combination of that size and clean conditions makes it a standout, even though it’s still a bit marginal. The combined energy rockets up to 1325, which is strong to very strong, so there’s plenty of power.
The afternoon of the 29th gets a bit messy again with a fresh cross-shore wind, so the morning is the window. The 30th and 31st see the swell drop a little, but still in the 5ft to 6ft range, with a period around 8 to 9 seconds. The winds are more cross to cross-on then, so it’s not as clean, but there’s still some size.
For the best of the best, you’re looking at the early hours of Tuesday the 29th. It’s the one day with real size and a decent chance of clean conditions. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
Rusty.

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.
