The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's happening down at La Laguna.
Right now, it's flat. Real flat. We're looking at a good run of days where you won't even bother waxing your board. From today until around August 18th, it's a dead zone. Tiny slop or nothing at all. The water is real warm, about 83°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal. The ocean is feeling like a bathtub.
Your first chance at anything ridable is Tuesday morning, August 18th. There's a small NW swell at about 2ft, with a clean east cross-offshore breeze. The energy is on the weak side, but at least it’s something. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so mornings are your friend.
Wednesday the 19th, the swell picks up a bit to around 5ft from the NW, with an 8-second period. The energy is getting moderate. The morning has light winds, which is good for this reef, as it handles a NW swell well. But the onshore wind ruins it by the afternoon.
Thursday the 20th is for experts only. The swell is pushing 6-10ft. That's over the 8ft mark, which means it's big and powerful. The wind is all over it, making it a mess. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing day than a surfing day. Too much juice, no shape.
Now, for the big one. Friday morning, August 21st. This is it. The swell is a solid 14ft from the NW with a long 11-second period. The energy is through the roof at 4519. But the magic is in the wind: light and cross-offshore from the ESE. That’s the ideal combo for La Laguna. The swell direction is right in the groove. This is a full-on, hold-on-to-your-lunch, big-wave day. Only for the most experienced. The size will scare off the masses. It's a week out, so treat it as a massive opportunity that needs to be watched. This is the day.
The swell backs down quickly after that. Saturday the 22nd still has some clean 5ft waves in the morning with light winds, but it’s a much tamer version of Friday.
So, the plan is simple. Wait for the 18th for a small tune-up. Sit out the 19th and 20th. And be ready to commit fully to that Friday the 21st. It's a long-range call, so there's some uncertainty, but the potential is enormous.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
