La Laguna Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what La Laguna’s got cookin’ over the next couple weeks.

Right out of the gate, the surf’s basically a no-show. We’ve got a flat spell that runs from Monday the 17th all the way through to Wednesday morning the 19th – a real bummer for anyone hoping to paddle out. The first glimmer of hope shows up Wednesday the 19th morning. We’re looking at a tiny 4ft NW swell, period a low 7 seconds, so not much push. Combined energy is just 132—barely a whisper. But the wind is glassy, dead calm, so if you’ve got a log, you might scratch out a few knee-high dribblers. It won’t be pretty, but it’s something.

That little bump fades fast, and we sink back into a frustrating stretch of tiny, weak waves. From Wednesday afternoon the 19th right through to Tuesday the 25th morning, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with heights under 2ft and combined energy rarely cracking 60. The only exception might be Saturday the 22nd morning – still only 2ft from the W at 7 seconds with 60 energy and glassy conditions. Honestly, it’s a flat spell you’d struggle to call a surf session.

Now, things get a bit more interesting on Wednesday the 26th morning. That’s the first time the numbers start to look real. A 3ft NW swell with a 7 second period, combined energy jumping to 198 (moderate energy), and flat calm winds—glassy. It’s still only ‘surfable but very ordinary’ by the numbers, but that’s the best we’ve seen so far.

But the standout? You gotta look ahead to Tuesday, 1st September morning. That’s the one. A solid 6ft NW swell rolling in with a 7 second period and combined energy at 446—that’s moderate energy, but the strongest in the whole run. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll have a little texture, but this is the only day where the wave height hits over 5ft. It’s an exposed reef break (La Laguna) and the swell direction is right on the optimum for NW. This is the session to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in stone, but it’s got the most potential.

Everything else between the 26th and the end of August is a mix of small swell and dirty wind—mostly cross-shore or cross-on breezes in the 15 to 22 mph range, chopping things up. Not your friend for a clean wave.

Bottom line: the first week is mostly a write-off. The second week teases a bit of life, climaxing with that 6ft pulse on September 1st. Keep an eye on the wind as we get closer—if it cleans up, La Laguna could actually fire.

Stay patient,
Rusty
