Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for La Preciosa.

Right off the bat, I gotta say, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We've got a 16-day window, but honestly, there's no real standout session in there. The whole period is plagued by onshore and cross-offshore winds from the ESE and E that just won't let up, and the swell is short-period, gutless stuff. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.

We start with a couple of days, Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th of July, that are just poor. Tiny waves, weak energy (down around 87 to 155), and bumpy wind. It's a write-off.

Come Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th, the swell bumps up a notch, getting to 4-5ft from the East, but it's still a short 7-second period. The energy is starting to show a little life (up to 254) but the conditions are just ordinary. The wind is blowing moderate to fresh, so it's a messy, blown-out affair. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th offer a glimmer. The swell gets a bit better at 6-6ft, still from the East, with an 8-second period. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 392 early Wednesday, and the morning winds are offshore. Thursday morning actually gets a "good" call, but it's brief. The afternoon winds swing cross-offshore again and trash it. These mornings are really the only time it's even worth thinking about, but it's still average.

From Friday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 19th of July, it's the same story on repeat: 4ft to 5ft East swell with a short 7-second period. The wind is either a moderate or fresh cross-offshore, or occasionally offshore in the mornings. The energy levels hover between 144 and 227, so weak to moderate. There are a couple of mornings that get a "marginal" or one on July 16th that gets a "good" call, but the consistency of the wind just isn't there. You might get a clean, offshore morning on the 16th with a 5ft East swell (227 energy), which could offer the best chance of a half-decent wave, but it's not going to blow you away.

In summary, this is a period where patience is key. The highlight, if you can call it that, is possibly the morning of Thursday, July 16th. Look for a 5ft East swell with a clean offshore wind. It’s a reef break for the advanced crew, so if you're experienced, that's your go. For everyone else, don't get your hopes up. The rest is a lot of wind and not a lot of wave.

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.
