The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on offer.
To be straight with you, this 16-day outlook is a tough one. There’s almost nothing to get excited about. The entire window is filled with tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a long stretch of days with no real recommendations. The first record starts on Wednesday the 15th, and from there it’s pretty much flat or near-flat right through to the end of the month.
We’ve only got one spot to look at, La Marina, and it’s an exposed reef. Unfortunately, the swell is just not there. Swell sizes barely creep above 1ft with very short periods around 4 to 6 seconds, meaning no power or shape. The combined wave energy never gets past a tiny 1-digit value—mostly 0 or 1, sometimes 7 or 12, which is incredibly weak. There’s just no energy in the water.
The winds do offer a few glassy moments, like Thursday morning the 16th and Monday morning the 20th, but with no swell to work with, those clean conditions are just wasted. By the time we get a hint of any kind of wave, it’s usually onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf stays poor.
It all looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. The setup here—an exposed beach and reef—is just not set up for the tiny swell we’ve got. Most of the time, the wind is cross-on or on, so if you tried to surf, you’d just be bobbing around on flat, choppy water.
There’s no standout day, no promising long-range hope. It’s just flat, blank, and consistent in its lack of surf. For this area, a blank run like this happens. Don’t hold your breath—forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Stay patient.

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.
