Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Preciosa.

Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid, consistent little reef break that loves a north swell, but the wind and energy just aren’t playing ball. For nearly the entire 16-day window, we’re looking at cross-off breezes – mostly from the E and ESE – hanging around 12 to 19 mph. That’s going to put a real chop on the face and make it hard to get a clean line.

The swell is there, but it’s pretty uninspiring. For the first week, from Thursday the 9th right through to the weekend of the 19th, the swell bumps along between 3 ft and 5 ft, straight out of the east. That’s not the optimum north direction for this place, and the period is a short, weak 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy sits in the 100-300 range (moderate), which sounds okay but feels mushy out in the water. Every single session in that stretch is flagged as either poor or marginal – a real pandemic of zero and one scores.

The water temp is sitting on 83° with an anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s about average for this time of year. The only real glimmer comes way down the line. On Tuesday the 21st of July, we get a little uptick: the morning shows 5 ft swell from the east, period still short at 7 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 261. It’s still a poor rating for the conditions, and the wind stays cross-off at 16 mph. Then Wednesday the 22nd sees 5 ft east swell with an 8-second period and combined energy of 259. But again, that same cross-off wind and a “marginal” call for the morning.

Bottom line: there isn’t a single standout window in this outlook. The wind is persistent, the swell direction is wrong, and the period is too short to really juice the reef. If you’re absolutely desperate, the 21st and 22nd have the most push, but you’ll be battling the breeze. For the rest? It’s a write-off. Better luck next week, lads.

Rusty.

Information about the La Preciosa Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for La Preciosa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Preciosa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Preciosa 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 Preciosa) 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 Preciosa 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.
