Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for our little slice of paradise.
Right off the bat, don't get your hopes up for the next few days. We've got a bit of a flat spell to work through. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until Tuesday the 7th. From now until then, it's mostly small, weak windswell with onshore or cross-offshore breezes making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be pleasant just floating around.
Okay, let's get into the good stuff. The standout window here is definitely Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th. La Preciosa will be the place to be. We're looking at a solid swell building from the East, pushing chest-to-head-high waves at 5ft to 6ft. The period stretches out to 8 seconds, which isn't a long-period groundswell, but it's enough to give the waves some shape. The combined energy hits over 300 (moderate wave energy) which is a big step up. The key is the wind going offshore from the SSE and SE, cleaning it right up. The mornings especially will be glassy and clean, which for an advanced reef break like this is a dream. Expect some decent power and a proper line to work with. Keep an eye on the forecast, but this is a promising middle of the week.
Moving on to Friday the 10th, the swell bumps up a touch more to 6ft from the East, with the energy climbing to 410 (moderate wave energy). However, it comes with a caveat. That morning window has offshore wind, but the forecast notes "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so the quality might be a bit tricky. It could still be fun, but it's not as clear-cut as the Wednesday or Thursday.
After that, things start to taper off again towards the middle of July. The following week shows smaller swell and inconsistent winds, with most afternoons getting chopped up by fresh cross-offshore breezes. The morning of Monday the 13th might offer a few small, clean waves, but it'll be very ordinary. The run from around the 11th through the 18th is going to be a slow stretch, with mostly poor to average conditions.
So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are your best bets. Get on it now because the surf fades out again after.
Stay stoked,
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.
