La Paz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us down at La Paz. It’s a reef and point set-up that’s consistent and great for beginners when the conditions line up, and we’ve got a real nice run of mornings ahead.

The first solid opportunity kicks off on Wednesday, the 16th. Wednesday morning is the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the SW with a long period of 16 seconds, pushing moderate wave energy through (901). The wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph, so it’ll be smooth as silk. This is the best on offer—clean, groomed, and perfect for a long session on the longboard.

After that, the pattern settles into a classic morning session rhythm. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th both offer glassy mornings with the swell holding around 3.6ft and 3ft from the SW, periods dropping a touch but still decent at 14 and 13 seconds. The energy is solid (572 and 510). The wind stays light and off the land, keeping the surface clean. Afternoons turn onshore and choppy, so get out early.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th continue the trend with smaller 2ft to 3ft SSW swells. Sunday morning is particularly good—dead calm, glassy conditions and a 3ft groundswell with a period of 19 seconds, giving it plenty of push for the size (815 energy). That long period will wrap nicely around the point here.

Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd keep the quality up each morning. Swells hover around 3.3ft to 3ft from the SW, with periods from 18 seconds down to 16 seconds. The wind is clean—either glassy or light cross-off. Morning sessions are the go. Watch for a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoons.

We’ve got a bit of a flat patch in the afternoons through the week of the 24th, but mornings still offer clean, rideable waves in the 2.6ft range. The energy drops into the weak-to-moderate range (336), so it’ll be smaller and softer, but still fun on the right board.

The real standout for the second week comes on Monday the 28th. That morning sees a fresh pulse of 4.6ft swell from the SW, with 12-second period and strong energy (861), all under calm, glassy conditions. That’s going to be a proper session—big enough to get your heart rate up but still clean for the point. Definitely one to circle on the calendar.

The last few days of September and into October drop back to smaller 2.3ft to 2.6ft SSW swells, but the wind stays good—light cross-off or glassy—so the point will still be rideable and uncrowded. The water temp feels about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

There’s no shortage of good surf here. Get on it.
