G’day, this is Rusty.

Well, to be honest, things are looking pretty bleak around here for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, flat spell with no proper surf on the cards, and the conditions we do see are mostly a write-off thanks to onshore and cross-off winds messing things up. The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is a brief moment on Friday the 17th of July and again on Saturday the 18th of July, when the wind finally swings offshore. That’s your best bet, but it’s still a gamble.

Let’s start with the only real highlight: La Preciosa. This is an advanced reef break that’s very consistent and exposed to the north, but it needs a north swell to really fire. On the morning of Friday the 17th, we get a small 4 ft east swell with a period of 7 seconds, but the wind turns offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s the best wind we’ll see – moderate offshore and clean. The combined energy is weak, just 162 (moderate wave energy), but offshore wind on a reef like this can make even small waves fun. The water temperature is average for the time of year at 83°. Saturday the 18th morning is similar – 4 ft from the east, 7 seconds, and another offshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph. Energy is a bit higher at 183 (moderate). The swell direction (east) isn’t what this break really wants (it needs north), so the waves will be a little underwhelming, but with glassy offshore conditions, it’ll be the cleanest you’ll get. Be aware crowds are possible here.

Other than those two mornings, the entire forecast is a bust. From Tuesday the 7th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, every other session is plagued by cross-off winds – 16 to 19 mph from the east or ESE – and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” The swell stays small, between 4 ft and 6 ft, with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds. Nothing worth chasing. The energy is mostly in the 100–400 range (weak to moderate), but the wind just kills it.

So, in short: if you can get out on the morning of Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th, you might find a few clean, shoulder-high waves at La Preciosa. Otherwise, it’s a blank run – nearly two weeks of nothing to get excited about. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a tough stretch. Hopefully, the forecasts shift.

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.

La Preciosa is 19 km (12 miles) from Cabrera. If you plan a holiday in Amber Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cabrera. Cabrera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
