The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about La Fitenia. It’s a quiet stretch. The whole 16-day window is thin – barely a bump worth mentioning. The first week-plus is a dead zone. From the 6th right through the 15th, it’s flat with a few tiny, useless pulses. Nothing to get wet for.
The first real sign of life shows up on Wednesday the 16th, a week and a half out, so keep it on the back burner. Morning brings a 1ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and combined energy at 118 – that’s weak. Winds are glassy from the east. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon bumps to 2ft from the south, still with a 16-second period and energy of 157, but a light cross-onshore breeze from the SSE messes with the surface.
Thursday the 17th is the best bet. The afternoon glass-off with 2ft from the SSW at 14 seconds and energy of 170 – that’s the pick of the run. Still just ‘surfable but ordinary’, but it’s the best you’ll see. Winds go dead calm.
Friday the 18th gives us glassy mornings and afternoons with 2ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, energy dropping below 100. Weak.
Saturday the 20th morning has another 2ft S swell at 15 seconds, energy of 136, and glassy conditions from a light SSW breeze. Another so-so window.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. La Fitenia is a reef break, exposed to the south, and the swell direction matches the optimum, so the setup is right. But the size never gets above 2ft the whole time. For a reef, that’s marginal. It’s beginner-friendly because it stays small and clean, but you’re waiting through long flat spells.
If you’re itching, aim for the 17th afternoon or the 20th morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always flip, but as it stands, this is a long, slow patch.
Rusty.

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.
