The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down La Palue for the next couple weeks.
We got a slow start. The first day or two have some surf, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have waves around 6ft down to 3ft, but the wind is messy – cross-onshore or onshore. Tuesday morning does go glassy with that 3ft, 10-second WNW swell, and the combined energy is moderate (192). That’s a brief clean window, but it’s short-lived and the crowds are often here, so it’s not a top pick.
From Wednesday the 29th right through to Saturday the 9th of August, it’s mostly poor. The swell drops below 3ft a lot, and when it bumps up a little, the wind is onshore or strong cross. A couple mornings are clean, like Saturday the 1st of August morning with a tiny 3ft NW swell and light cross-off breeze, but the energy is weak (66). That’s not enough to get wet for.
Now listen – the one to circle on the calendar is Sunday the 9th of August morning. That’s the standout. La Palue gets a strong 8ft, 8-second WSW groundswell, and the combined energy is powerful at 1667. The wind is glassy out of the southeast, so it’s going to be clean. This is an expert break, and with that size, it’s for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for this place (WSW). Crowds will likely be there, but that morning session is the best on offer this whole run. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s punchy and peaky, not long lines. Afternoon goes onshore, so hit it early.
The rest of the second week is small and choppy. That Sunday is your real shot.
Keep an eye on 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.
