The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. For the first eleven days of the forecast, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to Friday the 11th, the surf is just not cooperating. The pulse is tiny, the winds are messy, and the scores are low. There’s a real gap here with no good recommendations on offer. It’s frustrating, but these flat spells happen.
The real standout, the one worth circling on your calendar, lands on Saturday the 12th of September. That morning, it all comes together at La Preciosa. The swell is a solid 5ft, pushing in from the east with a moderate energy level (218). The wind is offshore, blowing from the southeast at 12 mph, which means clean, lined-up waves. This is a reef break, it’s very consistent, and it handles that east swell perfectly. The water is sitting at 85°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. These are prime conditions for an advanced surfer, but heads up – at 5ft, it’s starting to push the limits for beginners, and the crowds can be an issue here, so you’ll want to be out early.
There’s a brief mention of Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, with a 4ft east swell and offshore wind, but honestly, the overall energy (278) and the timing just don’t match the quality of the 12th. That Saturday morning is the clear winner. After that, the swell drops off again, and the rest of the second week doesn’t offer anything worth paddling out for. The wind stays cross-off or onshore, and the swell height fades away.
So, keep your board waxed and your eyes on the 12th. That’s the one.

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.

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.
