The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk La Fitenia. It’s been a quiet stretch and the next few days aren’t gonna get you excited. There’s a gap of several days with no surf worth mentioning, and the first real chance doesn’t roll in until Sunday the 16th.
Sunday morning, August 16, we get a little SSW swell showing up—about 2ft to 2ft, with a long period of 16 to 17 seconds. That’s real groundswell, and even though it’s small, that period at a reef break means the waves will have some punch and shape. The combined energy is building from weak to moderate (160 to 211). Sunday morning is glassy, which is great, but the afternoon gets a slight cross-onshore breeze, so the morning is the better session.
Monday the 17th is the standout. Morning delivers a clean 3ft SSW swell, period at 16 seconds, moderate energy of 345, and it’s glassy. The wind is barely there, and the call is “expect good surf conditions.” Afternoon holds similar with 2ft and glassy conditions. This is the best of the run—clean, small but fun, and perfect for the beginner-friendly reef setup. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th stay similar, around 2ft to 3ft, with period slowly dropping. Wednesday afternoon is especially nice—calm, glassy, with solid energy. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st keep the good run going, especially the mornings with clean, glassy or light offshore winds. From Monday to Friday, that’s your window.
After that, things fall away. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd drop in size and quality, with cross-onshore winds and weak energy. From the 24th onward it’s tiny and poor, barely any energy left. The end of the outlook is flat.
Bottom line: don’t bother until Sunday the 16th. The best stretch is Monday the 17th through Friday the 21st, with Monday morning being the pick. Small, clean, long-period SSW groundswell on the reef, glassy conditions—that’s as good as it gets in this run.

A general guide to surfing at La Fitenia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Fitenia 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.
