G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the ocean’s serving up at La Palue. It’s a lean run, to be honest. Not much to get your fins wet for, with a long, flat, and messy start.
The one session that sticks out is Monday morning, July 6th. We’ve got a tiny 3-foot swell from the WNW. The big win here is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm at 0 mph. That means the water will be like glass, which is a rare gift in this forecast. The energy is weak (107), so don’t expect any grunt, but for a clean, small-wave glide on a log, this is your time. The crowd can be “often” here, but for a morning that clean, it’s worth sharing the peak. The water temp is 67°F, which is 5°F above normal for this time of year, so definitely warmer than usual.
After that, it’s a dry spell. We get a few mornings with offshore breezes and tiny 2-foot waves around Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th, but it’s just not enough to get stoked about.
Things get a bit more interesting in the second week, especially around July 11th and 12th, when the swell energy jumps up (589 and 580). You’ll see some size, hitting 6 feet on Saturday and over 6 feet on Sunday. But the wind is onshore and howling, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. For an exposed spot, that’s a washout. That size is also firmly in expert territory, especially with a period of 9 seconds. Not the kind of conditions you want to paddle into.
After that, the waves just fizzle out into small, weak, onshore slop all the way to July 19th. There’s a huge gap of poor conditions. Honestly, for a kite surfer, that windy, choppy stretch in the middle might look fun, but for a paddle surfer, this forecast is a dud.
Don’t lose hope, though — the forecast can change.
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.
