Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Push over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at La Push. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.
Right off the bat, we've got a solid little window on Saturday, the 11th of July. The morning is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We've got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is glassy at 3 mph from the west, which is going to leave the surface butter-smooth. The combined energy is sitting at a moderate 560, and the water is much colder than normal for this time of year at 53°. This is a reef setup that's consistent and exposed to the swell, so it should be handling that energy nicely. It's a beginner-friendly break, but with that glassy morning, it's going to be a joy for anyone. Expect some crowds though, as it's a known spot.
Saturday afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-on shore from the NNW at 9 mph, making things a bit choppy. The surf drops off significantly after that. Sunday through Tuesday offers very little; the swell is small and the wind is messy. There's a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions here, so don't get your hopes up.
Things start to look more interesting again towards the end of the second week. We're seeing a bit of a pulse around the 18th and 19th of July, with swell heights pushing up to 6ft to 7ft from the WNW. The problem is, the wind is mostly cross-on from the NW at 9 to 12 mph, keeping things choppy. The energy is moderate to strong, hitting 963 on the 18th afternoon, but the quality isn't there for a clean paddle session.
The real standout, if you can wait for it, is the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. It's a long-range call, so don't bet the farm on it, but it's promising. We've got a 3ft groundswell from the SW with a very long period of 20 seconds. That's a lot of energy pushing through (1009 combined). The wind is a gentle cross-on from the WNW at 9 mph, which is okay, but for a long-period swell like this, the reef setup at La Push should be working well, giving it shape and power. It's a promising one to keep an eye on.
Overall, the clear winner is Saturday morning, the 11th of July. If you can get out there for that glassy 4ft WNW swell, you'll be laughing. The long-range Sunday the 26th is the next best bet, but it's a week and a half away.
Stay salty,
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.
