The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what’s cooking for La Laguna.
Right now, it’s flat as a pancake. Water temps are running 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — that’s a solid three-plus degrees above average, so you’re stepping into bathwater. For the next week and a half, there’s barely a ripple. The combined swell energy is stuck at single digits or low double digits, and most days the wave comment just says 'poor surf conditions'. You’ll see some glassy mornings, but no swell to back it up. Through Thursday 22 August, the only real pulse shows up on Wednesday 19 August morning, with a tiny 3ft NW swell and a period of 6 seconds — combined energy of just 46 — but that’s still deemed poor. Friday morning 21 August is a write-off, no surf at all.
The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Saturday 22 August. That morning, a 4ft NW swell rolls in with a period of 8 seconds, pushing combined energy up to 216 — that’s moderate wave energy and finally something to work with. Winds are glassy from the NNW, so it should be clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook. La Laguna is a consistent reef setup, exposed to NW swell, which matches the direction here nicely. The catch: it’s a bit small for the reef to really fire, but for a board with some volume, you’ll get some fun ones. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here sometimes. The afternoon gets choppy as the wind swings cross-onshore from the WNW.
After that, things drop off again. Sunday 23 August and Monday 24 August have small, weak swell — Monday morning brings a 2ft SW swell with a 7-second period, and the wave comment calls it 'surfable but very ordinary'. Not worth getting excited about. The next proper pulse is on Thursday 27 August morning, with a 4ft NW swell, period of 7 seconds, and energy at 200. Winds are cross-off from the NNE, so it should be clean again. That’s your second-best window, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it — long-range standouts are promising but less certain.
Overall, there’s a long, dry gap with almost no surf from now until late on Friday 21 August. The two mornings to circle are Saturday 22 August and Thursday 27 August. Both offer clean conditions and waist-to-chest high waves. Everything else is flat or junk.
Rusty out.

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.
