The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is looking rough. We got a big gap of nothing before we see any real hope.
First up, the early part is flat or tiny. Sunday morning (23rd August) shows a little 2ft northwesterly swell, short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is light offshore from the ENE. The combined energy is only 35, which is weak. That’s not worth getting wet for. Water temp is 83°, which is much warmer than average for this time—near 5° above normal—so you’ll be warm, but the surf is poor.
Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th August? Almost nothing. Swell drops to under 1ft Monday, and Tuesday is flat. Wednesday the 26th stays flat in the morning, then a pathetic 1ft southwesterly shows in the afternoon with a period of 4 seconds and just 4 units of energy. Light cross-shore, clean, but no power at all.
All the way through the end of August, it’s poor. The swell sometimes hits 3ft or 3ft on Friday 28th and Sunday 30th, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, chopping it up. The afternoon of Saturday 29th sees a 4ft northwest swell, but it’s only 5 seconds period, with a cross breeze at 15 mph. Energy 75. Messy.
The only real standout is Thursday morning, 3rd September. That’s the one. A groundswell pushing 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and a clean offshore from the ENE at just 6 mph. Combined energy hits 297—moderate, solid. The conditions are clean. La Laguna (reef break) can get crowded sometimes, but that morning is the ticket. That 5ft is getting up there for beginners, but it’s prime for anyone with a bit of experience. The wind stays light and off, so expect smooth faces. The afternoon gets cross onshore and messy, so be there early.
After that, Friday 4th September morning offers a smaller 4ft NW swell with offshore wind, but the energy drops to 91. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The rest of the window fades into flatness, with a glassy calm morning on 7th September but no swell at all.
The one to mark in the calendar: Thursday morning, 3rd September. Clean, moderate swell, good winds. That’s your best shot.

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.
