The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down La Palue.
We’re looking at a 16-day stretch, but the first couple days are a mess – Sunday is a no-go with onshore crud. The real action kicks off Monday the 14th.
The absolute standout hits around Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st of September. A long-period groundswell from the WNW pumps in at 8ft to 8ft, with combined energy readings around 2392 and 1382 – that’s a lot of power. The wind goes clean and cross-offshore from the NNE and ENE, giving you those smooth, lined-up faces. That’s your go-to window, but this is big, expert-level surf only. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Monday the 14th morning offers a tiny, glassy 3ft swell at 9 seconds. Nothing huge, but the only clean option early on.
From the 15th through the 19th, it’s mostly blown out or onshore mush, even when there’s some size. Not worth a special trip.
Another chance shows up Monday the 22nd morning – 4ft WNW groundswell, glassy. Clean, small, fun for a longboard. Energy is moderate (371).
Then Wednesday the 23rd morning gives you a 3ft NW swell with clean, cross-offshore wind from the ENE. Again, not the main event, but a fun little session.
After that, the swell drops off hard – we’re talking 2ft or less from the 24th onward, with mostly poor wind. It goes flat pretty quick.
So, the big winner is Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. La Palue is an exposed, consistent expert break, and it gets crowded often, so be ready for company.

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.
