Hey, Rusty here. Let's look at La Caffrine in feet. The first few days are a bit of a mixed start, but there’s good clean swell for the patient surfer.
Friday morning, July 3rd, starts marginal with a 5ft SW swell and a cross-onshore breeze. Not the best. But Friday afternoon turns it around—glassy smooth with a 4ft SW swell. Easy waves for a beginner. The combined swell energy is strong at 1198. Saturday the 4th is tidy for experienced surfers. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with 5ft and 5ft SSW swells respectively. The energy is solid at 1124 and 949.
Sunday the 5th turns on the power. The morning is a 7ft SW swell with a 16-second period and cross-on wind. Energy is 2637 but looks rough. Sunday afternoon gets a full cross-breeze, and the swell jumps to 10ft SW with a massive 3327 energy reading. That’s too big here. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th stay heavy and windy—not for paddling.
Wednesday the 8th of July is the pick of the first week. Morning has an 8ft SSE swell, clean cross-off wind, and combined energy of 3070. This is for experienced surfers only. The swell direction is SSE, close to the preferred SSW, so it should wrap in nicely.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th back off to smaller 3ft to 5ft swells with some glassy windows. Saturday the 11th of July is another top pick. The afternoon glass-off brings a 7ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period and 2669 energy. That’s clean power. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th keep the 7ft to 8ft SSW swells coming with clean winds. Tuesday the 14th goes huge—10ft and over 11ft SSW swells with glass. That’s only for experts. From the 15th to the 18th of July, the swell drops, and conditions get more marginal with cross-on winds.
For the experienced surfer, Wednesday the 8th of July morning is the standout session. The other gem is Saturday the 11th of July afternoon with that glassy, long-period groundswell. Crowds are just "sometimes" here, so you shouldn’t have a fight for a wave.

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