The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim picture for Palanga. There’s not a single day that I’d call a proper surf session. The swell is mostly weak and short-period, and when there is a bit of size, the wind is howling onshore and chopping it all to pieces. It’s a frustrating stretch, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
The run starts off dead flat on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th. We’re talking about a combined energy of 0, maybe a tiny 14 in the mix, but it’s just dribble. Then Friday the 7th sees a pulse of swell, with waves pushing 6ft to 7ft, and the energy jumps to 286 and 439. That sounds promising, but the wind is straight onshore at 22-25 mph, so it’s going to be a messy, blown-out wall of whitewater. That’s not for the faint-hearted, and really only for the experienced crew who don’t mind a beating.
The weekend isn't much better. Saturday the 8th has some 5ft to 5ft waves, but it’s still onshore and jumbled. The energy drops back down to the 100-200 range, which is moderate but the quality is poor. By Sunday the 9th, it fades to under 3ft, and we’re back to small, weak surf.
The following week is a write-off. There’s a bit of swell kicking around, but it’s all short-period, cross-shore, and lumpy. The combined energy numbers are low, mostly under 100, and the wind is constantly messing things up. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 15th where the wind goes offshore and it’s clean, but there’s barely a wave to ride, with only 2ft on offer and an energy of 20. It’s a tease, not a session.
To be honest, the only thing that gets close to interesting is the morning of the 20th, but that’s got a near-gale cross-onshore wind at 34 mph, so no one in their right mind is paddling out. That’s kite-surfing weather, not surfing. The setup at Palanga (Lithuania) is a sandbar, and with this kind of short-period, wind-blown mess, it’s just not going to hold any shape.
So, there you have it. A blank run. It happens. The good news is that forecasts can change, and with a fairly consistent sandbar like this, it won’t stay this bad for long. But for the next couple of weeks, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
