The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
The first week is pretty grim, to be honest. We’re looking at a lot of onshore winds and weak, junky surf. The best bet by a long shot is La Bellaca (point). This spot is a tricky one – it’s inconsistent, so you’ve got to pick your windows, and it’s for advanced surfers only. The water is currently sitting at 80°F with a massive anomaly of 7°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year.
The standout window is the morning of Thursday, September 11th. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the magic combo for this place. The combined energy will be moderate (256), and with those conditions, you’ll be looking at clean, lined-up point waves. Just remember, it’s inconsistent, so you might be doing a bit of waiting around.
The rest of the period is a write-off. From the 5th through the 10th, and again from the 12th right through to the 20th, it’s mostly onshore wind, small weak swell, and poor surf quality. There’s a long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for. The morning of Saturday, September 20th sees a tiny 1ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period, but with a cross-onshore wind, it’s just not going to come together.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in the 11th of September. That’s your one true shot. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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