Rusty here again. Same spot, La Fitenia, but I’ll give it to you in feet and miles per hour.
The water is 73°F, right around normal for the season. This is a reef that’s friendly for beginners, open to the south.
For the next few days, we're looking at ankle-to-knee-high waves, maybe 0.7 to 1 ft at best. The energy is weak, barely registering. Periods are long (15-20 seconds), which makes the little bumps feel drawn out but not powerful. The first decent shot at something surfable is Friday afternoon on the 10th of July, with about 1 ft from the SSW and a slight energy bump, but it’s still just average.
Saturday the 11th of July morning sees the combined energy jump into moderate territory (366), with 2 ft from the SSW at a very long 20-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not clean, but the bigger energy is there.
The best session by far is Sunday the 12th of July morning. Swell is still only about 2 ft from the SSW, but that 18-second period is quality groundswell, and the wind is offshore/clean from the east. You’ll have clean faces and good shape for the reef. Crowds are only around sometimes, so you should get plenty of waves. That’s your highlight.
After that, Monday and Tuesday have similar size but the wind gets messier, and by Wednesday and Thursday of the second week it’s fading back to tiny 1 ft junk. There are a couple glassy windows toward Tuesday the 21st of July afternoon and Wednesday the 22nd of July morning, but they’re still just 1 ft.
The whole run is pretty flat, but Sunday the 12th of July morning is the standout: 2 ft, clean, long period, and a reef that loves that kind of swell.
Rusty, out.

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