The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for La Marina, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but honestly, the surf is barely a whisper. There’s really nothing to get excited about, and no standout day to point you toward.
The water temperature is sitting at 79°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and you’ll definitely feel that bathwater in your wettie.
Let’s break it down. The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th have tiny, weak swells, but the wind is all wrong – cross and cross-on, making for choppy, messy conditions. The combined energy is pitiful, only reaching 40 (weak energy) at best. Saturday the 29th through Monday the 31st are mostly flat, with zero swell energy. We do get some clean, offshore winds on Saturday morning, but there’s nothing to ride.
The first week of September is much the same. A few tiny pulses come through, like Wednesday the 3rd with a 1ft swell from the SSW, but it’s almost all cross-on wind. The combined energy barely cracks 15 (weak energy). There’s a stretch from the 4th to the 8th where we see a lot of glassy or clean conditions, but again, no swell to speak of – it’s a flat spell.
Hang in there for a tiny glimmer on Wednesday the 9th. The morning is glassy with a 2ft swell from the ENE, period of 4 seconds, and combined energy of 12 (weak energy). It’s clean, but tiny and short-period. Not exactly going to light your fire.
The rest of the second week, from the 10th to the 11th, is more of the same – flat or tiny waves with clean or glassy conditions. It’s a long, blank run.
Look, La Marina is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example. It’s a tough call, but there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a rare, clean ripple on the 9th, but don’t expect much. For the rest of us, it’s time to wax the longboard and wait for a better window. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid no-go.

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.
