The Lowdown
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

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.
