The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what La Preciosa has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough run. For the first five days, from Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 6th, it’s basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with a weak combined energy (under 200), and the wind is blowing cross-off from the east, which is just not doing us any favours. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but you’d be better off doing something else.
Monday the 7th morning finally shows a flicker of hope. The wind turns offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, and we get a clean 3 ft swell from the east with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 112 (moderate), and while it’s surfable, the conditions are very ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s the first thing that’s worth paddling out for.
The real standout, and the only one I’d call a highlight, is Friday the 11th morning. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, making for clean, lined-up waves. Swell is a solid 4 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 290 (moderate). This is the best combo we see in the whole window. The wave quality is good, and the offshore wind will keep things glassy. La Preciosa is a reef break, so that short-period east swell will wrap in nicely, but it’s an advanced spot. With that 4 ft, it’s fine for experienced surfers, but beginners might find it a bit much. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that, it drops off again. The following week, from the 12th to the 17th, it’s mostly small, weak, and cross-off. The 14th Monday morning has a brief offshore moment with 3 ft, but it’s nothing special. The energy stays low, and the swell direction swings to the NNE by the 15th, which isn’t ideal for this break. The 16th and 17th are tiny, with 2 ft or less.
So, bottom line: if you’re waiting for a session, focus on Friday the 11th morning. It’s the only real window of quality in this 16-day stretch. The rest is mostly a bust.
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.
