Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for the local waves. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window and there’s just nothing worth getting excited about. The swell is tiny, the energy is non-existent, and the conditions are just flat or messy. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the boards in the shed.
Let’s run through it. The first bit of hope, if you can call it that, is a tiny pulse on Sunday the 12th. La Marina sees a small 2.3ft swell from the east with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 23 (weak). The wind is onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be bumpy and poor. The water is a warm 80.6°, which is a whopping 9.5° warmer than normal for this time of year – seriously unusual, but it won’t help the surf.
After that, it’s a flat spell. From Monday the 13th right through to Friday the 25th, we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Tuesday the 16th morning and Sunday the 19th morning, with light northerly winds and no wind, but the swell is either zero or so small it’s not worth paddling out for. The wave heights are mostly 0.7ft or less, with periods of 3 to 6 seconds. The energy readings are all in the single digits (1 to 9) – that’s a flat ocean, plain and simple. A few afternoons have onshore winds, but without any swell, it’s just a waste.
The only break in the file is La Marina, a reef break that’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s an exposed spot, but it needs a decent swell from the ESE to work. We’re not getting that. Even on Saturday the 25th, when we see a tiny uptick in energy to 9 (still weak) with a 1.3ft swell from the ENE, the wind is onshore. It’s just not happening.
Honestly, for a region like this, a blank run of this length is pretty normal when the charts are this quiet. It’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. Don’t waste your time.

Information about the La Marina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Marina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Marina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Marina 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 Marina) 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 Marina 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.
