Alright, Rusty here.

First up, looking at the whole forecast period, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a solid run of onshore wind and choppy conditions that’s going to keep things pretty ordinary for a while. The only real light at the end of the tunnel is that Sunday morning, the 19th of July, where the stars finally line up for a few hours.

For the next week and a half, it’s a constant battle. From Wednesday the 8th right through to Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at cross-offshore winds from the ESE and E, blowing between 12 and 18 mph. The swell hangs around the 4 to 6 ft range, all from the east with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is moderate at best, but it’s just not clean. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Now, if you’re a dedicated soul at La Preciosa (a reef break), Saturday morning the 11th and Sunday morning the 12th have a hint of marginal surf, but it’s still messy. The wind is just too strong to let the wave shape clean up. This setup, with that persistent cross-off wind and short period east swell, actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of that time.

The standout window is Sunday morning, the 19th of July. That morning, the wind finally shifts to a true offshore from the ESE at 15 mph. The swell eases slightly to a clean 5 ft from the east, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is decent, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your window. It’s only a morning window, though, as the wind swings back cross-off in the afternoon. This is a reef break, so an offshore wind on a short-period east swell should give you some fun, walled-up waves. It’s an advanced break and it can get crowded, so you’ll have to fight for your share.

After that, the swell drops off into nothing. From the 20th onwards, we’re looking at small, weak, and windblown surf as the energy fades away.

So, the call: hold out for that Sunday morning, the 19th. It’s your only real chance for a clean session in this outlook. Everything before that is a write-off unless you’ve got a kite.

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.
