Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Push over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. La Push is in a flat spell right now. There's a long-period groundswell from the southwest, but it's only pushing 2 ft. The water is 54°F, which is nearly 5°F colder than usual, so it's a bit nippy. We're looking at a solid week of poor to marginal surf, with persistent cross-shore winds. The first few days, from Tuesday, August 25th through Friday, August 28th, are all low scores. The energy is weak (263) and the swell is tiny. Don't expect much until we hit the first week of September.
The first real standout is on Friday, September 4th, in the morning. La Push (reef) will be glassy clean with a 4 ft swell from the west-northwest. The wind will be glassy with a light breeze, and the waves will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (286). This is your best bet for a decent paddle. The swell is a bit short period (9 seconds), so it's a bit weak, but the glassy conditions make it worth it.
Then, on Saturday, September 5th, we get another glassy morning with a 2 ft southwest groundswell. The period is long at 17 seconds, so there's good energy (483) and the waves will have shape. The wind is light and glassy again. This is another solid session for the reef.
The real highlight, though, is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. We're looking at a 4 ft west-northwest swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong (546). The wind will be glassy. This is the best wave of the entire outlook. The water is likely still cold, but the conditions are set up for a really good session. The swell is a bit short period, but the glassy winds and moderate size will produce clean, fun waves.
After that, the afternoon winds pick up from the north-west, so get out early.

Information about the La Push Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Push provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Push can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Push 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 Push) 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 Push 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 Push is 93 km (58 miles) from the city of Port Angeles. If you plan a vacation in Washington State, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Angeles. Port Angeles has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
