The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for paddle surfing around La Marina. The finder is telling me there’s not a single decent recommendation in the whole stretch. That’s a long, blank run. For an exposed reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this kind of quiet spell isn’t too unusual. It’s frustrating, but it happens.
We start from Saturday, September 5th. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual and feels like bathwater. Swell is tiny, barely 0.7 ft with a weak period of 3 seconds from the SSW, and the combined energy is a measly 1. The wind is light and cross-shore, but there’s absolutely nothing to surf. This theme of “poor surf conditions” just repeats day after day.
Sunday the 6th is even smaller, with the swell dropping to 0.3 ft on the morning before going flat in the afternoon. Monday the 7th is totally flat, though the morning does get a glassy moment with a light NNW breeze. Tuesday the 8th is also flat. Through the first week, we see small pulses of very weak, short-period energy – around 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the east or south-southwest, with periods between 3 and 4 seconds. The combined energy peaks at just 17 on Thursday the 10th, but that’s still weak and the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy and messy.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. The best we see is a tiny 2 ft pulse from the east on Monday the 14th, but with a period of only 4 seconds and a combined energy of 19, it’s still rubbish. There’s a slightly bigger push on Sunday the 20th, with a 2 ft swell from the south and a slightly longer period of 6 seconds, giving a combined energy of 35. But the wind is cross-onshore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon, so it’s not going to be clean. For a reef break like La Marina, that’s not going to shape up.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The swell is too small, the period is too short, the energy is weak, and the wind is never properly offshore. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer with a paddle board. Keep your hope alive, though – forecasts can change, and it can’t stay this flat forever.
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.
