The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where the ocean’s takin’ a long nap. The whole 16-day window from August 30th right through to September 14th is lookin’ pretty flat and sad. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands, almost no swell to speak of, and what does show up is barely a ripple.
The only spot we’re lookin’ at is La Marina. It’s a reef setup, but it’s inconsistent and tends to get a few folks around. The water temp is sittin’ at 79°, which is a huge 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really unusual, feels more like a bath than the ocean.
Now, through the whole first week and beyond, there’s nothin’ to get excited about. On Sunday, August 30th, we get a tiny 1 ft wave from the ENE, but with a period of just 3 seconds, that’s just wind slop. Combined swell energy is a pathetic 2 – weak as weak can be. The morning starts clean with a light NW wind, but that’s not gonna help the swell. Monday and Tuesday are flat, glassy mornings but zero surf. The pattern just keeps repeating: small, weak, and poor.
There is a tiny pulse on Saturday, September 5th: a 1 ft ENE swell in the morning, with a bit more energy (8), and clean NW offshore wind. But it’s still knee-high at best. The afternoon gets a 2 ft ESE wave, but the wind swings S and cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
The 10th of September morning shows a 3 ft NE swell with a period of 4 seconds and energy up to 30 – that’s the best we see, but it’s still very weak and the wind is cross-onshore from the NE. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout day here. The swell is too small, too short period, and the winds are often wrong. This is a proper flat spell for La Marina. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a run like this is pretty normal. When it’s this small and the quality is poor, it’s more of a swim than a surf.
Keep your board in the car, check the forecast again next week – things can change. But for now, it’s a long wait.
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.
