The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for this stretch. Let’s be straight up – it’s a lean few weeks ahead. We're looking at a long dry spell with barely a wave worth paddling for.
The only spot on the menu is La Fitenia, a beginner-friendly reef break that’s fairly consistent, but it just ain’t gonna fire. The first sniff of anything rideable comes in on Thursday morning, 3rd September, but it’s tiny. We’re talking a weak 2ft of SSW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds. The wave energy is weak (135), and even though the morning is glassy, it’s just not enough to get excited about. It’s surfable, but ordinary. That afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and it drops to poor.
The rest of that first week is a write-off. Friday morning, 4th September, has a howling cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 12 mph on a pathetic 2ft swell. It picks up a bit Friday afternoon with glassy conditions on the same tiny swell, but it’s still a 1/10 at best. The whole weekend into the following week is mostly flat or just bumpy, messy junk. There’s a stretch from Sunday, 6th September to Wednesday, 9th September where there’s effectively nothing.
We get a tiny pulse on Wednesday morning, 10th September with a 1ft SSW groundswell (13s period) and glassy conditions, but again, it's just too small to be any good. The energy is almost non-existent (35).
Honestly, there’s no standout. The best of a bad bunch is probably the first session on Thursday morning, 3rd September – at least it’s glassy and you might catch a knee-high runner. After that, you’re looking at a whole lot of flatness and poor conditions right through to Friday, 18th September. It’s a tough run.
For the whole 16 days, the water temp isn’t flagged as anything special, so call it average for this time of year.
Stay patient, mates. Sometimes you just gotta wait for the next proper pulse.

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.
