La Laguna Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one for La Laguna. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for the first few days. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s a solid gap of quiet water. Monday morning sees a 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 297. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the best we’ve got. Given the size, this is manageable for most intermediates, but beginners might find it a little punchy. The break is a consistent reef setup, so it’ll be lining up, but crowds are possible here.

The standout, if you can call it that, is really that Monday morning session. The swell direction is straight out of the NW, which is the optimum for this spot, so it’ll be hitting the reef just right. The afternoon of the 27th jumps up to 7ft from the NW, but it’s got a strong cross-onshore wind making it a choppy mess – that’s expert-only territory and not much fun.

Tuesday the 28th offers a bit of hope with a 4ft NW swell and a clean, cross-offshore wind in the morning. The energy is moderate at 169, but the waves will be a bit ordinary. It’s surfable, but don’t expect perfection.

After that, the 16-day window just fades out into tiny, poor surf or flat spells. The wind pattern keeps swinging into the WNW, which is cross-on for this spot, and the swell energy drops off a cliff. There’s a few morning windows with clean, glassy conditions, but no swell to back them up.

So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, make a move for Monday morning, 27th July. It’s the only real pulse of energy in this whole outlook. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
