The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook, but in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
It’s a long, quiet stretch to start. From Tuesday 18th through Monday 24th, there’s almost nothing worth paddling for. Tuesday the 18th kicks off with a 5ft swell from the NW, but a 12 mph cross-onshore wind has it chopped up and ugly. The combined energy is 239 (moderate), but the quality is poor. After that, the swell crashes – we’re talking knee-high dribble for days. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday 19th morning when it goes glassy with a 4ft NW swell and energy at 119 (weak), but it’s still nothing to get excited about.
The gap lasts nearly a full week, until Tuesday 25th, when we see a 5ft NW swell return. The wind is blowing 15 mph from the W, cross-onshore, and the energy sits at 125 (moderate). Still poor. Wednesday 26th morning offers a cleaner look – a 3ft NW swell with light NNE cross-offshore wind at 6 mph, energy 118 (weak). It’s surfable but very ordinary.
The only true standout is Friday 28th of August. That morning, you’ve got a 5ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy hits 297 (moderate). Wind is from the NNW at 9 mph, cross-shore, and it’s clean with just a slight cross-chop. That’s the session to aim for – head-high, clean, and La Laguna’s reef loves a NW swell. The optimum direction is NW, so it’s all lining up. At 5ft, it’s fine for intermediates. By Friday afternoon the swell bumps to 7ft and the energy jumps to 519 (strong), but the wind picks up to 15 mph cross-shore, making it a bit bumpy and better left for the experts.
After that, it fades. Saturday 29th morning has a clean 3ft NW swell with light E cross-offshore wind, but it’s small. From Sunday 30th onward, it’s nearly flat all the way through to early September. A tiny 0.3ft to 0.6ft ripple shows on Tuesday 1st September but that’s nothing.
So the call is: Friday 28th morning. That’s your window. The rest is a long, quiet wait.
Rusty.

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