The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming days at La Palue.

Right off the bat, it's a pretty grim stretch for the most part. The surf is small and the wind is a real problem for most of the period. The water temp is sitting at 66°F with a very slight anomaly, so it's pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing to worry about in the wetsuit department.

The best window in the whole 16-day outlook is right at the very end. Wednesday morning, September 9th, we're looking at a glassy 5ft swell from the west with a solid 11-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 563. That's the standout. The wind is glassy, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. It's not a huge swell but conditions are set to be very good. That's your call.

Before that, it's a long slog. The whole first week is full of poor surf, strong onshore winds, and messy conditions. The swell gets bigger, around 8ft to 10ft towards the end of the first week and into the second, but it's always accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore wind, making it unsurfable. There's one stretch from August 28th through to September 5th where the swell is consistently over 7ft, hitting 8ft, and even 10ft on September 6th afternoon, but the wind is always on or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy hits very strong levels, like 1404 on September 5th afternoon, but with the wind, it's just a blown-out mess.

The swell energy is weak early on, with 97 on the 25th, then stays under 1000 for most of the period. It spikes to 1289 and 1404 on the 5th, then up to 3275 on the 6th, and even 4991 on the 8th, but again, the wind ruins it. The longer period swells, like a 15-second groundswell on the 8th, are too big for the break and the wind is still cross-on, so it's a no-go.

So, to sum it up: If you want to paddle out, save your energy for the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.

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.
