The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for you fellas who think in feet and miles. We only got one spot that’s even worth a mention in the next 16 days, and that’s La Marina (reef). It’s a lean stretch, no two ways about it.
The best, and really only, option is right at the start. That’s Friday morning, the 21st of August. The swell is a tiny 2ft out of the south, with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is pitiful, sitting at just 13. The water is a very unusual 83°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than it should be for this time of year.
The saving grace is a light cross-shore wind, which means the surface will be alright. You’ll be hunting for ankle-biters, but it’s the only time there’s anything to ride. The rest of that Friday has a little more size at 2ft but still weak energy (35), and a late glassy moment on the 31st of August with a 0.7ft bump, but that’s it.
After that first Friday, the 16-day forecast is nothing but “poor surf conditions” for every single time slot. The swell just disappears for days on end, especially through the end of August and into the first week of September. It is a total flat spell.
Given this break is already an inconsistent one, this is a proper dry run. If you’re looking for surf, you’re out of luck. With no real swell and some nasty winds popping up later on, this coast looks more like a kiteboarding zone than a paddle-surfing one. Stay tuned, mate, it won't be 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.
