The Lowdown

Alright, let's break it down in feet and knots for you.

Straight up, this stretch is a bit of a dud. We've got La Preciosa, a solid reef setup for the advanced crew, and it's usually very consistent, but this 16-day window is not playing ball. The opening is poor – Friday the 11th through Monday the 15th sees swell from 1ft to 5ft, mostly from the east, and it's getting hammered by a 12 to 19 mph breeze. The wave energy sits between 29 and 273, which is weak to moderate, but the conditions are just marginal or poor. Nearly all of this first week is a write-off.

The real kicker is the wind. It's cross-offshore through that whole first week, which for a reef like La Preciosa isn't the clean glass you want. The swell is short-period too, mostly around 8 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly.

We do see a little window for hope around the 16th and 17th (Wednesday and Thursday). The wind shifts to a proper offshore from the SE, which is a game-changer. On Wednesday morning the 16th, we've got 3ft of E swell at 6 seconds, with the energy a low 77. It's surfable but ordinary. Thursday morning the 17th bumps up a touch – 4ft of E swell at 7 seconds, with a moderate energy of 142. That's the best of a bad lot, and the offshore wind will make the faces clean. The crowds here are sometimes an issue, but with conditions this average, you'll probably have it to yourself.

After that, it fades away again. From the 18th right through to the 26th, the swell drops below 3ft mostly, and the energy sinks into the weak single-digits and double-digits. There are a few mornings with offshore wind again, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The 19th, 21st, and 22nd have some clean-looking mornings, but the wave heights are tiny – 2ft or less. By the 23rd to the 26th, it's practically flat.

Honestly, there's no standout here. If you're desperate, Thursday the 17th morning at La Preciosa is your best bet. It's not big, it's not epic, but the offshore wind and a little bit of energy might give you a few fun ones. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

For the rest? Save your energy. This is one of those stretches where the forecasts will hopefully change. As it stands, it's a blank run that's pretty normal for this area when the wind and swell don't align. If you see bigger swell and strong wind, this exposed beach-and-reef setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but we don't have that either.

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.
