The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at La Preciosa.

The first week is a real mixed bag, with only one clear standout. That’s Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a solid 7ft E swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is light offshore out of the SE at 6 mph. This is a proper advanced reef break, and the wave energy is strong (975). It’s going to be clean and powerful, but at 7ft, this is for the experienced crew only. You can expect some company in the water. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.

Monday afternoon is still decent, with the swell dropping to 6ft and the wind picking up to 18 mph, still offshore. The energy is still strong (703).

From Tuesday the 1st of September onward, the bottom falls out. The surf goes flat, with tiny, weak waves. The wind is mostly cross-offshore, but the swell is pathetic. Wave heights drop below 2ft, and the energy values are in the double digits. It’s a long, frustrating stretch of nothingness.

The second week starts to show a little pulse. The best bet is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. We’ll see 4ft from the E with a 9-second period, and it’s clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the SE at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (249), and it’s the best looking window in a while.

The Thursday morning of the 10th and Friday morning of the 11th also look promising, with 4-5ft of E swell and offshore winds, though the energy is a bit lower.

After that, the outlook fades out again with small, poor surf. The 15th of September has a mention of “surfable but ordinary” with a tiny 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it’s not worth getting excited about.

So, the takeaway: Monday the 31st is the big one for the experts. Then there’s a long dry spell, followed by a few cleaner, smaller windows in the second week, with the 7th morning being the pick of the bunch. Hang in there.

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.
