The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming for La Laguna.
Right now, the first week and a half are pretty flat and disappointing. From Friday 21st August through to the end of the month, the swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is often messy. There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning 22nd August with a little 0.9m WSW swell and a light cross-off breeze, but it’s barely worth the effort. The wave energy is weak (102) and it’s just average. After that, it drops off hard – from Monday 24th August through to Wednesday 2nd September, we’re looking at tiny waves, flat spells, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. It’s a real quiet stretch.
Now, the one session that stands out like a beacon is Friday 4th September morning. La Laguna is a reef break, consistent, exposed to NW swell, and it loves that direction. That morning we’ve got a solid 1.8m NW swell, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 246. The wind is light and offshore from the east, making it clean and glassy. That’s the best of the whole outlook – chest to head-high waves, clean, and the reef will be working well. It’s for intermediate surfers, so not for beginners, but if you’ve got the skills, this is the one to go for. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Saturday 5th September morning drops back to 1.1m NW swell, still clean with a light cross-off breeze, but the energy is much weaker (74) and the period is short. It’s ridable, but nothing special.
So, long story short: a long dry spell, then one cracking morning on Friday 4th September that’s the clear winner. The rest is mostly forgettable, but that Friday could be a real treat.
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.
