Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for La Preciosa over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it’s not looking great. This is a reef break that needs north swell to really fire, but we’re stuck with east swell the whole time, so the quality is going to suffer. The water’s sitting at 83°F with an anomaly of just 0.7°F, so it’s pretty normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

From Tuesday 7 July right through to Friday 17 July, the surf is mostly poor. The swell hangs around 3 ft to 6 ft, period only 7–8 seconds – that’s short‑period windswill, not the long‑period groundswell this reef deserves. Winds are cross‑off from E/ESE, mostly 12–19 mph, so it’s not glassy either. The combined swell energy stays under 400 (moderate at best, often below 300) which tells you there’s not enough oomph.

The one day that might give you something worth paddling out for is Saturday 18 July. The morning session has a clear sky, ESE wind at 12 mph blowing offshore – that’s proper clean conditions. Swell is 5 ft from the east, period still short at 7s, and the combined energy is 209 – weak, but the offshore wind will keep the faces tidy. It’s a reef break that’s very consistent, so even small east swell can throw up a few corners if you’re an advanced surfer who knows the place. Crowds are “sometimes”, so you might have company but not a circus.

After that, Sunday 19 July onwards the quality drops again: 4 ft, 7s, cross‑off winds, scores are poor. The forecast energy stays under 200 through to the end of the window on 22 July.

Honestly, the entire 16 days is a tough run. If you’re an experienced local who can make do with a small, short‑period east swell and an offshore breeze, then Saturday 18 July morning is your best bet – but don’t expect any stand‑up tubes. Otherwise, leave the board at home and wait for a proper north swell.

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.
