The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – this is a rough one. We're looking at a full 16-day window at La Preciosa, and honestly, there's not a single session I'd paddle out for.
Right from Sunday the 2nd of August, right through to Monday the 17th of August, it's a long, flat, and ugly stretch. The swell is hanging around 2ft to 5ft from the E and ENE, but the period is a short, weak 6 to 8 seconds. That’s a windswell, not a groundswell, meaning it's mostly bumpy, disorganized energy. The wave comment for every single time slot is "poor surf conditions," and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.
Even when it does push up to 5ft on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August, the wind is howling at 19 mph from the ESE and E – a cross-off shore, which sounds good, but with that short period and a combined energy (214 to 220) that's barely moderate, it’s just going to be a messy, choppy wall. It's never clean enough to be fun. The reef setup might look interesting for a kite session with that consistent wind, but for a paddle surfer? Forget it.
There are no standouts here. No hidden gems. No window of glass. It’s a 16-day blank. But hey, in these parts, a dry spell like this is just part of the deal. The forecasts can always shift, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
