Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at our local spot.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are gonna be a real test of patience. There’s nothing that screams “drop everything and paddle out” for a long stretch. The first genuinely rideable surf we see won’t arrive until Monday morning, July 6th. From there, it’s a patchy run with lots of days where you’re better off waxing your board and just looking at the ocean.

La Palue is where we’re hanging our hat. It’s an exposed, expert-only bank, so don’t bring the groms unless they’re gunning it. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 5° warmer than usual for July – that’s a pretty warm anomaly, so you might not even need a spring suit.

Monday morning, July 6th, we get a tiny pulse: 3 ft from the WNW with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is weak (107). Wind is glassy from the SSW at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable but ordinary – nothing to write home about.

Tuesday morning, July 7th, drops even more: 2 ft, WNW, 9-second period, energy down to 62. Wind is calm, glassy. Again, small and clean but barely enough to push you.

Wednesday morning, July 8th, is the pick of the first week – and I mean that as a relative thing. Swell bumps to 3 ft from the WNW, period up to 10 seconds, combined energy at 109. Glassy conditions again due to calm wind. It’s the best of a mediocre bunch, but still very small. Not a standout by any stretch.

From Thursday, July 9th, onwards, the quality drops. Winds turn onshore or cross, and we get a lot of “poor surf conditions” flags. Friday morning, July 10th, sees a little height (4 ft, WNW, 9 seconds), but the wind is onshore and messy.

The second week is even quieter until around Saturday, July 18th, when we see a spike in size – 5 ft on Saturday morning (NW, 6 seconds, energy 191) and 7 ft that afternoon (WNW, 7 seconds, energy 357). But the wind is a strong cross or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and chopped. Then Sunday, July 19th, gets even bigger – 7 ft from the NW, 8 seconds, energy 634 – but the wind is fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop. That size (over 7 ft) is expert-only territory, and the wind is going to make it a washing machine. For any of you kite surfers, those weekend days might look more interesting than paddle surfing.

Honestly, nothing in this forecast jumps out as a true standout. The cleanest moments are those small, glassy mornings early in the first week, but they lack any punch. The later bigger swells are ruined by wind. If you’re really jonesing, give Wednesday morning, July 8th, a look – it’s your best shot for a clean little wave, but keep your expectations low. This region is in a flat spell, and it’s going to stay that way for a while.

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.

La Palue is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Camaret-sur-Mer. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camaret-sur-Mer. Camaret-sur-Mer has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
