The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what the ocean's got cookin' for us. I've had a good look at the charts, and honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn for the next couple of weeks. There's no real pulse of proper swell to get excited about, but we'll work with what we've got.
The next few days are flat. Thursday through Sunday are a complete write-off with tiny, weak lumps. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with the water temp feeling a touch warmer than normal at 76°. The first hint of something rideable doesn't show up until Monday the 31st of August. It's still tiny, only 2ft from the SSW, with a bit of cross-onshore breeze, so it's not exactly prime time. This limp feeling continues, with energy levels in the moderate range, but the quality is just not there.
The real hope, if you can call it that, is September. The best bet in this entire 16-day window is La Fitenia. Even then, it's not world-class. We see a slight bump from the 31st of August through the 1st and 2nd of September. On Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell gets up to 3ft out of the SSW with a period of 16 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, which means longer, more powerful lines, but it's a bit of a fickle beast for a beach break. The combined swell energy hits 446 (moderate) which is about as good as it gets here. The wind swings light cross-shore in the afternoon, which will clean it up a bit, so it won't be all chop and bump. It's a reef break that's fairly consistent, and it's a beginner-friendly wave, so the crowd factor might be manageable, though it can get busy "sometimes". It's not a standout, but it's the only game in town.
After that, it fades fast. By the 4th of September we're back to tiny, glassy swell with almost no energy, and it stays that way for the rest of the run. There's a little pop of energy on the 11th of September, but it's barely a ripple. For a surfer looking for a proper session, this is a tough stretch. The few options are just not worth paddling out for unless you're desperate for a float. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
