Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Rusty here with the outlook for La Preciosa. Over the next 16 days, we're looking at a mostly average run of surf. The swell is out of the east with short periods of 6-7 seconds — that’s pure windswell. The south-easterly winds blow offshore in the mornings, but afternoons are trashed by east cross-off winds hitting 30 km/h.
The one day that stands out is Thursday morning, July 9th. You’ll have 6ft E swell at 7 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze from the southeast at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate (350). That’s the only session called "good surf conditions." Not a world-beater, but clean and rideable.
Also worth a look is Wednesday morning, July 8th — 6ft east swell, a slightly longer 8-second period, and offshore wind. But a storm risk is in the mix, and it's only marginal.
After that, it’s the same story: most mornings are surfable but ugly, and afternoons get blown out. Water temp is 83°F and about average for this time of year.
From Friday, July 10th onward, the pattern holds — chop and short-period swell. The best you’ll get after July 9th is Friday morning, July 17th with 5ft swell and cross-off wind.
La Preciosa is a reef break for advanced surfers, and crowds are possible on the better days. The swell direction doesn’t match the optimum north swell, so it’s more of a windswell setup. Decent for a paddle, but nothing to lose sleep over.
Thursday morning, July 9th — that’s your window.
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.
