The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty grim run for the most part, with a lot of small, junky, and cross-onshore conditions. The first week is a write-off unless you’re desperate for a paddle, and even then, it’s not great. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness and slop before we see a flicker of something decent.

Starting off, things are looking poor. Monday, August 3rd, kicks off with a weak 4ft swell from the west, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW at 6 mph, putting a little wrinkle on the surface. The combined energy is only moderate at 292, and it’s got a short, weak period of 7 seconds. It’s a scrappy day. Tuesday, August 4th, is more of the same: a touch more energy on the afternoon (392) but still cross-onshore and choppy with a 4ft swell. Wednesday, August 5th, the swell bumps up to 5ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and the period is only 8 seconds. The water temp is 60°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

This poor run of conditions carries right through the first week and into the second. Friday, August 8th, the swell drops to nothing, 1ft, with a long 16-second period, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a total mess. The energy is still moderate (216), but it’s wasted on junk. From August 9th through the 10th, we’re looking at a flat, weak spell with 1ft swell and energy dropping to 134. It’s a real dead zone. For a solid week, there is nothing to recommend.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, August 11th. The afternoon sees a bump of 6ft from the west, with a moderate energy reading of 545. The wind is onshore, but light, so there’s a chance it’s not totally blown out. It’s still marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The real standout, however, is on Wednesday morning, August 12th. The wind swings cross-offshore from the south at 6 mph, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is 4ft from the west with a 7-second period, but the energy is moderate at 264. The report says "expect good surf conditions," which is the first time we’ve heard that. For a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the swell, this is your window. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s not going to be pumping, but it will be clean and rideable. This is the best on offer.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday, August 13th, and Friday, August 14th, are small and choppy again. There’s a slight uptick on Saturday, August 15th, with a 4ft swell from the WNW and strong energy (428), but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it messy. The very end of the run, Tuesday, August 18th, has a 4ft swell from the west with a 13-second period and a big energy reading of 588, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 9 mph, making it choppy. It’s tantalizing, but the wind ruins it.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The second week has that one clear morning on Wednesday, August 12th, that’s worth a look if you’re jonesing. Everything else is a scratchy, cross-onshore mess. Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
