The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at La Preciosa.

Right from the start, it’s a tough stretch. The first few days are all small, weak swell with cross-off winds making things messy. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing to write home about.

The one real bright spot is the morning of Friday, September 11th. The wind turns offshore from the ESE, just a moderate breeze, and we get a 5ft east swell rolling in with a combined energy of 258 (moderate). The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but that offshore wind is going to make it glassy. That’s your best bet. The break is a reef, so it’s for advanced surfers only, and it’s very consistent, but crowds are sometimes a thing, so you might have to share.

After that, it’s a long, bleak stretch. From Saturday the 12th right through to Monday the 21st, the swell barely gets above 3ft, the energy drops into the double digits, and the wind stays cross-off. There are a couple of mornings with offshore wind on the 15th and 16th, but the swell is only 2-2ft, so you’d be on a longboard or a log. The whole second week is a dud for paddle surfing – honestly, it looks more like a kite surfing setup than a wave-riding spot.

So, if you can make it happen on Friday morning the 11th, you’ll get the only clean, rideable session. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for the next pulse.

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.
