Right, mate, Rusty here with the outlook for La Preciosa. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. This is an advanced reef break, exposed to the north, and it’s looking for a very specific E-NE swell to really fire.

We’ve got water temp sitting about 83°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. Comfortable.

First up, the good news? There are a few windows of decent conditions, but they’re few and far between. The rest is a write-off.

Starting from now, Friday morning, it’s a no-go. Winds are cross-off and the swell is a weak 3ft from the E with a short, gutless 6-second period. The combined energy is a pathetic 98. This continues right through the first week – Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – all showing poor surf conditions. The swell ticks up a bit, hitting 5ft by Tuesday afternoon, but the wind stays cross-off and messy. Energy starts to rise, hitting 276 by Tuesday arvo, but the quality just isn’t there. Wednesday the 8th is the first real shift. Morning still looks average, but by Wednesday afternoon the wind turns offshore, blowing nicely from the ESE at 16 mph. Swell is 6ft from the E at 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 373. This is your first real window. Clean waves, but the short period means it’s better for the bank than a point break.

Thursday the 9th morning is the standout of the whole run. Cloudy skies, a steady offshore from the SE at 12 mph, and a solid 5ft of E swell at 8 seconds. The energy is 360. This is where you want to be. Clean, lined-up waves for the advanced crew. After that, it gets messy again.

Friday the 10th morning has a bigger 7ft swell from the east, but with a fresh 19 mph offshore wind, it’s going to be blown-out and tough, even for this advanced spot. That’s borderline for experts only.

Then we got another good window on Saturday the 11th morning – offshore wind again, 5ft E swell, 8-second period, energy at 309. Good session potential.

After that, the second week is a real mixed bag. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th mornings have cleaner offshore winds, but the swell drops back to 4ft and the period drops to 6 seconds. Energy is weak, around 117. Surfable, but very ordinary. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are messy with cross-off winds.

The last real chance is Thursday the 16th of July. Morning brings a risk of thunderstorms but a clean offshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph. Swell is 4ft from the ENE with a slightly better 8-second period. Energy is a moderate 202. It’s worth a look for the clean conditions, but don’t expect pumping barrels.

Overall, if you can get out on the 9th morning, that’s the absolute cream of the crop. The 8th afternoon and the 11th morning are your next best bets. Everything else is blown out, weak, or just plain messy. Hang in there, it might look better next month.

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.
