Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Palue over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about La Palue. Looking at the next 16 days, it’s a real mixed bag. There’s a couple of small, clean windows early on, but the real standout is a solid pulse of swell later in the month. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual – that’s very unusual and a real treat for the time of year.
Starting off on Friday the 10th of July, we’ve got a small 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s coming with a cross-on shore breeze, so it’s choppy and not worth your time. Saturday the 11th is a little better – the morning has a 3ft swell with a clean cross-off wind, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The real sweet spot early on is Wednesday the 15th of July. The morning is glassy, with a light 1ft swell from the west. It’s tiny, but those glassy conditions will make it fun for a longboard on a high tide.
After that, there’s a long gap of poor conditions until the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. That’s when things get interesting. The combined swell energy jumps to 207 (moderate energy) with a 4ft swell from the WNW, and a clean offshore wind from the east. This is a solid, expert-only wave with a bit of push, and the offshore wind will make it clean. It’s the best on offer in the whole forecast. The next morning, Thursday the 23rd, gets even bigger at 5ft, but the wind swings onshore, so it’s blown out. The overall energy is strong (441), but it’s a messy one.
So, the standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July morning. Get on it if you can. Everything else is just filling in the gaps.

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).
