Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the coming weeks.

Straight up, it's a pretty grim run for La Preciosa. We've got a solid block of days here where the surf is more frustrating than fun. The wind is almost constantly a cross-off or a fresh breeze, which just ruins the face. We're looking at a stretch from now, all the way through to the morning of Friday, July 10th, where the conditions are just poor. It's not a good look. The swell direction is coming from the East with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, which is weak, mushy energy. The combined swell energy is moderate, only hitting around 303 to 402, but with that wind, it's a mess.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning, July 10th. For a few hours we get an offshore wind from the ESE at 19 mph. The swell is 6 ft from the East with that same short 8-second period, but that offshore wind will clean it right up. The energy is still moderate (346). It's a marginal call, but it's the only morning that looks worth a paddle. The water temperature is about 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.

After that Friday morning window, it’s back to poor conditions right through the weekend and into the start of the next week. We've got a real dry spell on our hands. The swell drops off significantly, with heights falling below 3 ft and energy levels tanking into double digits. It's just not doing anything.

We do get another quick window on the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. The wind swings offshore again from the ESE at 16 mph, giving us clean faces on a 4 ft East swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is still weak at 162. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary.

Further out, there are a few mornings around Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th that are tagged as "marginal", but the wind is cross-off and the swell is still short-period and moderate at best. Nothing to get excited about. Honestly, the standout session here is that Friday morning, July 10th. It's the only time in the whole 16-day window where the wind conditions and a half-decent 6 ft swell line up. Even then, it's not going to be epic, but it'll be your cleanest option. For the rest of it, you're better off sitting this one out. The consistent cross-off wind and weak, short-period swell just make for frustrating, bumpy waves.

Given that it's a consistent reef break, I'd say we'll get better windows eventually, but this forecast is a tough one.

Be safe out there.

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.
