The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the imperial rundown. The water temp at La Palue is about 67°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The first part of the outlook is pretty bleak. From Sunday the 2nd through to Wednesday the 12th, there’s hardly any surf worth talking about. The swell is tiny, winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is poor. There’s a brief moment on Friday morning the 7th where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft with a weak 6-second period and the combined energy is a measly 39, so you’d be bobbing around more than surfing. That’s a solid 11 days of near-flat conditions.
Things pick up on Thursday the 13th morning with a 2ft swell from the WSW, a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, and clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 121. It’s surfable but still nothing special.
Then, the standout is Friday morning the 14th. La Palue gets a 7ft swell from the west, with a light cross-offshore wind from the NE, making it clean. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short, but the combined energy is strong at 1005. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 7ft, it’s too big for beginners. The wind will be clean, so the waves should be good.
After that, it drops off. Saturday the 15th morning has a 6ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW, and the combined energy is moderate at 450 – it’s marginal. Then the afternoon gets lumpy. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th see more onshore wind and choppy conditions, with the swell hitting 7ft on Monday afternoon but with a cross-onshore wind that kills the quality.
The real one to target is Friday morning the 14th. Everything else is a gamble.
Rusty.

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.

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.
