The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, Rusty here. Been a bit of a dry spell, but we’ve got a couple of windows to pencil in. The first chance to get wet is Monday morning, the 14th of September. The swell is a little on the small side at 3ft from the West, but the wind is clean out of the southeast, giving us a nice cross-off breeze. The water temp is around 65°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The energy is modest, so it’s a small, clean surf session to get the arms moving.
Now, the real standouts are tucked away at the end of the forecast. The first big one is Wednesday morning, the 23rd of September. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the WNW, and the wind is coming from the north-northeast, which is a clean cross-off. The swell period is a very long 14 seconds, so that’s proper groundswell with plenty of grunt. The energy is cranking (1314). With that size and period, La Palue is going to be a long, racy line. It’s an expert-only zone, and with that height, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Expect a few regulars out.
But the absolute best on offer is Thursday morning, the 24th of September. The wind is going to go glassy, blowing straight out of the east-southeast, which is the perfect offshore for this spot. We’ve got a 5ft WNW swell, still with a long 12-second period. The energy is strong (692). This is the day where everything clicks – clean, offshore, and a solid groundswell. It’s a proper session for the local crew. The gap between the small Monday and these last few days is mostly a write-off, with lumpy, cross-onshore wind spoiling it. Stick to the end of the window.
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.
