The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf outlook for the coming days.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the next 16 days, we’ve got a serious flat spell on the cards. The first sign of any surf isn't until Friday, July 24th, but even then, it’s barely a breath. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no real recommendations to speak of. The whole window is plagued by weak, tiny waves and poor conditions. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off leaving the boards in the shed.
The only spot in the mix is La Marina, a reef break that’s inconsistent and gets crowded sometimes. The water is running far warmer than normal for this time of year, about 84°, which is a full 11° above average. The swell energy is just non-existent, with the highest reading we see being a paltry 32 (weak energy) on Monday the 27th. That’s not enough to get excited about.
Let’s run through it. Friday afternoon on the 24th, we get a tiny 2ft E swell at a dribbly 3 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the ESE, making a mess of things. The next few days are mostly flat, with a few barely-there pulses. Sunday morning the 26th is glassy but only 1ft from the ESE, and the 6-second period gives it no push. Monday the 27th morning has a clean 2ft SSE swell, period of 5 seconds, and light cross-offshore wind – that’s technically the biggest swell of the whole period, but it's still tiny and weak. After that, it’s back to zeros and flat calm for days on end.
There’s no standout here. There’s nothing to get excited about. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the persistent onshore winds and lack of any significant wave energy. Sometimes you get a blank run like this, and it’s just how it goes. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a stay-at-home kind of fortnight.
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.
