The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Palue.
Honestly, I’m a bit gutted to say this, but the outlook for the next two weeks is pretty grim. This is a real dry spell for the region. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at flat to tiny swell with rubbish wind. It’s a slow, frustrating stretch that’s hard to get excited about. There’s a gap of about 8 to 9 days where there’s nothing really worth paddling out for.
The only real wave worth talking about, and it’s a long shot, pops up on Monday the 17th of August. There’s a pulse of energy coming in with a combined swell energy of 305 (moderate). The swell is 5ft from the WNW, but the period is a short, crumbly 8 seconds. That’s a bit of a letdown for that much water moving. The wind is onshore from the West at 6 mph, which is enough to keep things messy. Given the size, it’s pushing into expert territory, and the cross-onshore wind won't help. It’s a marginal look at best, and the following days don’t improve with stronger onshore winds and bigger, junkier swell.
The week after that, from the 19th of August onwards, the swell size jumps up, but the quality goes out the window. You’ve got waves up to 8ft on the 21st of August, which is proper expert-only water, but the wind is howling from the SSW at 22 mph, cross-onshore and lumpy. The combined energy hits 883 (strong), but it’s a mess. This setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
Keep it on the radar, but don’t hold your breath yet. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a lot of waiting for a clean window that just isn’t there.

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.
