The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ in the water.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the forecast for Palanga over the next two weeks is a rough one. We’ve got a long stretch of grovelly, wind-battered conditions that won’t give you much to work with. The whole first week and a bit is a write-off: from Saturday the 5th right through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s just poor surf conditions day after day. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, the swell periods are short, and the energy never gets anywhere interesting. You’ll see a few pulses of size – like Saturday afternoon (5th) with 8ft swell – but it comes with a 28 mph onshore blast, making it a total mess. Not worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of hope – and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window – lands on Wednesday the 16th. Palanga sees a solid groundswell build through the day. Wednesday morning brings a clean 7ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period, and light cross-shore winds from the SSW at just 9 mph. That’s a big yes for clean face. The combined swell energy climbs to 650 (moderate-strong), and the wind is light enough to keep the surface tidy. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell pushes up to 8ft from the west, period climbs to 9 seconds, and energy jumps right up to 1476 – that’s serious power for this break. Winds stay clean from the south at 12 mph, cross-shore. But – and this is a big but – that size at over 8ft puts it squarely into expert-only territory. If you’re a beginner, stay well clear. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 66°F, but that’s a small comfort when the waves are that heavy. Also, Palanga’s a sandbar, and long-period groundswell can make it break a little too straight – but with these winds, it’ll still offer some proper pits for those with the skills.
Other than that day, the only other mentionable moment is the morning of Friday the 19th: a tiny 2ft west swell with clean cross-offshore winds from the SSE at 12 mph. It’s small, but glassy. If you’re desperate and on a log, it might be worth a splash, but that’s a soft option, not a standout.
Bottom line: If you’ve got the nerve and the skill, circle Wednesday the 16th on your calendar. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. Keep an eye on the forecasts though – things can turn.
Rusty.

Information about the Palanga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Palanga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Palanga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Palanga 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 (Palanga) 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 Palanga 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.
