The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First off, it’s a pretty bleak start for the region. We’re looking at a gap of several days before there’s anything worth paddling out for. The waves are small and weak, and the wind is just messy.

Now, let’s talk about the one spot that’s got a pulse. La Preciosa is the only break on the cards, and it’s a proper advanced reef set-up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on. The swell direction is mostly easterly, which isn’t its absolute optimum, but it’s close enough to work.

The standout moment is Friday morning, September 11th. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell out of the east with a period of 8 seconds, moderate energy (combined energy of all swells directed here: 275). The real beauty is the wind—it’s offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s going to put a nice face on the waves. It’s a bit of a short-period swell, so don’t expect the longest lines, but it’ll be punchy and fun. This is the best on offer, no question. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The rest of the first week is a write-off. Thursday (September 10th) has a bit of size but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are only marginal. By Saturday and Sunday the swell drops right off, and the wind stays tricky. Around Monday and Tuesday the following week, we get a little pulse from the east again, but the period is short and the wind is only moderate. It’s just ordinary.

The second week is a real struggle. There’s a small window on Saturday morning, September 19th with a 3 ft swell and a very light offshore breeze. It’s small and weak, but at least it’s clean. After that, the swell completely flatlines. By the time we get to Thursday morning, September 24th, there’s a hint of life with a 3 ft east swell, but it’s still just ordinary. Honestly, after the first standout, it’s a long stretch of waiting for something better.

Rusty out.

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.
