The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Got to be straight with you: the surf forecast for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flatness and tiny, weak waves ahead. The water's a balmy 27°, running far warmer than average for the season, but that's small comfort when there's no surf.
The only spot with any potential is La Marina. It's an inconsistent reef, and for the next ten days or so, it's mostly junk. We're talking shin-high dribble with weak energy readings. There’s a few knee-high bumps of 0.4m to 0.5m on the 11th and 12th, but it's short-period windswell and the wind is all over the place. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From Sunday the 13th through most of the following week, it's a total blank. No swell, no surf, nothing. Just clean, empty water. This is a long stretch, so don't even think about it.
But, there's a glimmer of hope. A week from Tuesday, on September 22nd, we finally see some real energy. The swell builds to 1.5m in the morning with a period of 6 seconds, from the ESE. The energy jumps to 150, which is moderate, and the morning wind looks clean and offshore. This is the standout window. It's a short-period swell, which isn't ideal for a reef, but it'll be the best thing we've seen in ages. The afternoon pushes it to 1.7m with more energy at 277, but the wind swings onshore and chops it up. So that Tuesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that peak, it drops back down quickly on the 23rd. So don't sleep on that window if you're keen. It's a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed the models hold up. Until then, find something else to do.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.
