The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, breaking it down in feet and miles per hour.

The next few weeks are looking pretty grim for quality surf, with only a very narrow window of something half-decent right at the start. After that, it’s a long, flat spell with nothing but small, weak leftovers.

Our main hope sits on Thursday morning, September 10th. We’ve got a 5 ft east swell rolling in at La Preciosa, a reef break that needs a north-northwest direction to really fire, and this one’s coming from due east – not ideal for the shape, but listen, the conditions are the real story here. The wind is blowing offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, keeping the surface smooth and clean. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so the spring suits will be fine. The combined energy is moderate around 311.

This is a solid, punchy wave for advanced surfers only – the reef is no joke, and that 5 ft swell is going to be pushing. Crowds can be around sometimes, but with the wind this good and the swell direction a bit off, it might be a little quieter. This is easily the standout of the entire outlook.

Don’t get excited about the rest. From Thursday afternoon straight through until Thursday the 17th, it’s a total write-off. The wind swings cross-offshore, the swell drops and gets jumbly, and the scores are all zeros. You’re looking at an 8-day gap of marginal to poor conditions.

There’s a faint glimmer on Thursday morning, September 17th. A 4 ft east swell with clean, gentle offshore breeze (ESE 9 mph). The combined energy is still weak (181), and the period is short, so you’ll get crumbly little waves. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Another little puff of life on Friday the 18th (3 ft, ESE offshore) and Saturday the 20th (3 ft, SE offshore), but honestly, these are only worth a look if you’re desperate for a slide.

After that, it’s back to tiny dribble for the rest of the 16-day window. The swell vanishes and the combined energy dips into the double digits. There are a lot of offshore wind days in the second week, but with nothing underneath them, it’s all show and no go.

Bottom line: Thursday morning, September 10th is your only real shot at something decent. A short window, but the wind is gold. The rest of the run is a sea of flat and ordinary. Surf’s gotta come from somewhere, and right now, it’s not coming here.

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.
