The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook for La Marina is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s basically flat, with next to nothing to get excited about. The forecast shows a long stretch of no surf at all, especially from now through the first week. There’s a gap of several days with absolutely no recommendations, so don’t bother checking the beach.
The first faint pulse of energy shows up around Tuesday, 18 August, but it’s a sad little thing. Tuesday morning brings a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 4 seconds and weak combined energy (6). The wind is cross-onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, making it choppy. That’s not surfable in any meaningful way. Tuesday afternoon gets a 2ft swell from the E, but onshore winds at 12 mph and a poor rating make it a write-off.
Thursday, 20 August, has a 1ft from the S in the morning, period still short at 4 seconds, and a light crosswind. Still nothing. The afternoon gets a risk of thunderstorms and a 1ft SSE swell, but onshore winds kill it.
Friday, 21 August, gives a glimmer early with a glassy morning and a 0.7ft from the E, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. Combined energy of just 1. That’s not a wave.
The most promising of a bad bunch comes around Monday, 24 August. Monday morning has a 1ft from the S with a 6-second period, combined energy of 15, and clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the WNW at 3 mph. The 2ft swell in the afternoon gets cross-shore winds, but the morning is the cleanest window we’ve got. Still, we’re talking about knee-high dribble here.
Tuesday, 25 August, has a 2ft from the ENE in the morning with a 5-second period, clean cross-offshore wind from the NW at 9 mph, and combined energy of 31. That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but it’s short-period and weak. Afternoon gets 2ft from the E with onshore wind, so forget it.
The water temperature is 84°F, which is a whopping 10°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual – you’ll be swimming in bathwater, but there’s no surf to enjoy it.
Overall, this is a blank run. La Marina is a reef break that’s already inconsistent, and with no swell to speak of, it’s locked out. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a few of those afternoons with stronger onshore winds, but for surfers, it’s a no-go. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save your energy.
Stay patient, 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.
