The Lowdown
Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you. For the next couple of weeks, it’s a tough go. We've got a dead run from now until around the 14th of August, with mostly tiny, weak swell and crummy cross-onshore winds. Not much point in talking it up.
The first flicker of hope comes on Friday morning, August 14th. A NE swell rolls in at 1.3m, period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 210, so it has some push. The wind is light out of the NE, onshore, so it won't be clean, but it’s light enough to keep it from being a total mess. For Palma Sola (beach and breakwater), a fairly consistent beginner break, this is a marginal call at best.
We get another chance around Sunday morning, August 16th. The swell is still 1.3m, but the period bumps up to 9 seconds, so it has a bit more shape and power. The combined energy hits 240. The wind is still NE at 10 km/h, still onshore. This is the best the forecast offers, but it’s still just okay, not great. The persistent onshore flow keeps the surface bumpy. For a beginner break, the size is fine, but the conditions won't make it easy. This whole window is one to watch for a potential good session if the wind lays down, but as it stands, it’s a tough stretch. The later opportunities on the 18th are similar in size but come with the same wind issues. Not the best few weeks for a paddle.

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