The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at the next couple of weeks for your local waves. Let's be straight with you—the start is a bit of a write-off, but we've got some real quality to chase down the line.
The next few days are a tough go. Sunday is a total non-starter with small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds. Monday and Tuesday are nothing to write home about either. We've got a couple of glassy moments, like Monday morning and Wednesday morning, with a tiny 4ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is weak (combined energy around 210). It's a bit of a wait for the good stuff.
The first real standout comes on Thursday, the 17th of September. Thursday morning at La Push looks like the first window of quality. We're looking at a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with glassy conditions. The swell period is a bit short at 8 seconds, so it won't have the punch of a groundswell, but the combined energy is moderate at 440. It's a beginner-friendly size and with the glassy wind, it'll be clean and fun.
Now, keep your eye on the end of the month. The real highlight is shaping up for Wednesday the 23rd of September. Wednesday afternoon is looking very promising. The swell has built to a clean 4ft from the WNW, but the period has stretched out to 12 seconds—that's a proper groundswell with real shape and energy. The combined energy is a solid 727, and with glassy winds, it'll be absolutely pristine. This is a classic setup for this reef, and the quality is going to be top-notch.
Following that, Friday the 25th of September morning is also a cracker. The swell is a bit bigger at 6ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, giving it a combined energy of 721. Glassy conditions again, but this size is pushing into intermediate territory. For the experienced crew, this will be the session to beat.
A quick note on the water: it's sitting at 60°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year. No surprises there.
The forecast confidence is good for the near-term standouts, and while the long-range stuff on the 23rd and 25th looks great, there's always a bit of uncertainty that far out. Keep an eye on the charts, but get ready to move.
Rusty.

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.
