The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range charts are showing a pretty quiet stretch for La Palue, with the swell window mostly shut for the next few days. We’ve got a lot of small, wind-affected surf to sift through before we see any real potential. The water’s running about 65.3°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small bonus.

Right now, and for the next few days, it’s honestly not worth paddling out. We’ve got a couple of days of onshore and cross-shore winds, with a lumpy 7.5ft of W swell on Tuesday, but it’s all over the place with a short period and the wind’s just tearing it up. That drops to 5.2ft on Wednesday but it’s still choppy and cross-on. The energy is there, moderate at best, but the quality is junk. This is a stretch where the beach and reef setup could be more interesting for the kites than for us. Thursday’s even smaller, under 3ft, with weak energy – not worth the walk.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up Friday morning with a bit of a pulse from the W at 4.9ft, but it’s still cross-shore and the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit jumbly. The score isn't great. Things stay marginal through Saturday morning, but then we get a standout window on Saturday afternoon. The wind is forecast to go light offshore from the WNW, and the swell bumps up to 5.6ft from the WNW with a much longer 13-second period. The combined energy jumps up, which is strong. This is the best of the first week by a long shot, a proper groundswell hitting the exposed break. Saturday morning looks glassy too with 3.6ft of NW swell, so there's a clean entry into the session. This is the one to circle.

Sunday goes a bit messy again, with cross-on winds and the swell settling down, and Monday and Tuesday are pretty average. But then, look at Wednesday the 23rd. That’s a promising longer-range call. We’re seeing a clean offshore E wind forecast, with 4.6ft of WNW swell rolling in with a 13-second period. The energy is solid and the wind is set to hold from the east, which will leave it clean. It’s a week and a half out, so we can’t lock it in, but it’s got the right look. The days before that, from the 17th to the 22nd, are mostly small, clean but tiny, with some offshore mornings and a few glassy patches, but nothing with any real push behind it.

So, there you have it. For this stretch, the standout is Saturday afternoon, with a possible repeat performance on the 23rd. The rest is a lot of small, wind-affected dribble. Keep the board waxed and be ready for that Saturday window.

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.
