The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’re focused on La Palue.

Honestly, mate, the short-term is a bit of a write-off. The next few days are messy with onshore wind and choppy conditions. Friday 21 August has some size, around 6ft from the WNW, but that cross-onshore wind is going to make it a bit of a battle. Saturday 22 August is much smaller, dropping to 3ft from the NW, but there’s a clean window early with a cross-offshore breeze – that’s the only real chance for a fun little session before it swings back onshore.

Then it gets ugly. From Sunday 23 August right through to about Thursday 3 September, there’s a long, drawn-out gap with barely any surf to get excited about. Most days are under 2ft, and the few pulses of size come with strong, lumpy winds. The 26th and 27th of August see a spike to 7ft and 7ft from the SSW and SW, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy, and the period is short (7-8 seconds), so expect fat, bumpy lines. That’s more of a hassle than a highlight, and for a break that’s exposed and expert-level, it just means cleanup sets with no real shape. The water temp is sitting around 66°, which is about average for this time of year.

You finally get a little relief towards the end of this run. Tuesday 1 September afternoon goes glassy, and while the swell is only 4ft from the west, that clean, glassy surface is worth a look for a patient surfer. The energy is moderate (173) at best, but the conditions will be a whole lot friendlier than the weeks prior.

Overall, if you’ve got to go, grab a window on Saturday morning the 22nd, or wait for that tiny, glassy window on Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon. The rest of it is either too small, too windy, or both. For an expert spot like this, the big pulses are blown out, so kites might actually have more fun on those stronger, cross-onshore days in the 26th to 28th.

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.
