The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get stuck in.

Well, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn flat for us. There’s a real lull on the cards, so don’t get your hopes up too high for anything decent for a while. We’re looking at a whole lot of small, weak surf and nothing that’s gonna get your heart racing.

The first day with anything rideable is Monday the 14th. La Preciosa will have a little 3ft of east swell, but it’s a bit of a washout with some stormy conditions around. The energy is weak (128), so it’s not really doing much. The water’s sitting around 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Not much to write home about, just a few grovelly ones.

From there, things just drop off. We’re looking at a run of several days with really nothing on offer. The swell drops right down, and the conditions stay pretty average. The wind is mostly cross-off but there’s just no size or power behind the waves. It’s that frustrating time where the ocean looks clean but there’s no punch to it. You’ll be fighting for scraps.

We see a tiny bump around Thursday the 17th, with the swell pushing back up to 4ft, but it’s short period stuff at 7 seconds and lumpy. The energy is moderate (130), but the quality is just not there. It’s going to be messy and probably not worth the paddle out unless you’re desperate.

The rest of that week and into the next is more of the same. Small, weak, and generally poor conditions. There’s a bit more energy showing on the 23rd and 24th, but the swell direction swings around and the size stays small. We’re talking ankle to knee high stuff, really just dribble.

Finally, on the 29th, we get a little glimmer of hope. There’s a pulse of 3ft east swell early in the morning, and the wind is light offshore. The energy is moderate (136), and the period is a short 6 seconds, but at least it’s something. It’s the best we’ve seen in over a week, but it’s still far from epic. It’s a one-hit-wonder before the afternoon winds kick up again.

So, in a nutshell: don’t book the time off work for this one. It’s flat, it’s small, and there’s no real swell on the horizon. We’re in a proper slump. You might get a couple of grovel sessions in, but that’s about it. At least the water’s warm. Keep the boards in the car, but don’t expect much.

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.
