The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s break this down for La Preciosa. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts – and it’s a rough couple of weeks ahead.

For the most part, from Monday the 13th right through the 21st of July, it’s a real struggle. We’ve got east swell running 4 ft to 4 ft, but the wind is a constant cross-offshore at 12 to 19 mph, and the period is short – only 6 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak to moderate, and the surf is just rated as poor. The water is warm, around 83°F, which is about average, but that doesn’t help the waves.

We get a tiny break on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The wind finally goes offshore from the southeast at 16 mph, and the swell drops to about 3 ft. The notes say it’s “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s weak, with low energy, so it’s a slight hope, but nothing to make a trip for.

After that, it’s right back to the same poor conditions from the 23rd to the 27th. The wind stays cross-off, and the surf quality is just no good.

Now, for the one day that actually shows a pulse: Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. The swell kicks up to about 5 ft from the east, with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 243 – the strongest in the whole run. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s a marginal forecast, but it’s the only time the energy is strong enough to possibly get your attention. 5 ft is starting to get a bit much for beginners, and with that short period, it won’t be the cleanest.

So if you’re itching to paddle out, that Tuesday morning of the 28th of July is your best and only real shot for anything with some push, but brace yourself for that cross-off wind. For the rest of the time, the water’s warm, but the waves just aren’t playing ball.

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.
