Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at La Preciosa.

Straight up, the outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a solid run of moderate east swell, but the wind is the big enemy here – persistent cross-offshore breezes from the east and southeast, often 15 to 18 mph. That’s going to kill the quality for paddle surfing most days. The combined swell energy is moderate, topping out around 372 (moderate energy) on Wednesday the 8th. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope is on Sunday, July 5th, in the morning. We have 4ft of east swell wrapping in with a period of 7 seconds, but more importantly, the wind goes clean offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. It’s not the biggest, but it’s the cleanest window we get. The swell energy is 143 (moderate). It’s surfable waves, just ordinary conditions – a far cry from firing, but it’s the best on offer in this stretch.

Monday morning, July 6th, is another mentionable window – similar setup with offshore wind, but the breeze is up to 15 mph, so Sunday morning is the cleaner pick. The combined swell energy climbs to 183 (moderate) on Monday morning but it’s still a little underwhelming for this advanced reef break.

Beyond that, from Tuesday the 7th onwards through the 19th of July, it’s pretty much a write-off for decent surf. The wind is predominantly cross-off or fresh cross-off, and the swell stays short period (7-8 seconds). The swell height does push to 6ft on Wednesday the 8th, and energy peaks at 372, but the wind is cross-off at 15 mph and there are risk of thunderstorms. That setup looks way more interesting for a kite session than for paddling into.

There are no other standout windows in the second week. The swell drops back to around 3ft to 5ft towards the 17th, and the wind never really swings to a clean direction. The consistency is good – it keeps pulsing – but the quality never lifts. For an advanced reef break that needs good conditions, this is a long blank stretch.

In short: Sunday morning, July 5th, is your cleanest, most hopeful chance for a session at La Preciosa. After that, it’s a waiting game for the wind to play ball.

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.
