Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Push over the next 16 days.
Right, I’ve had a look at the La Push forecast, and to be honest, it’s a pretty tough run. The whole 16-day window is a real battle with the wind. The swell is there at times, but it’s almost always got that cross-onshore chop messing it up, so we’re looking at a lot of marginal to poor conditions. There’s a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for, especially from the 12th of July right through to the 22nd, where the surf just goes flat and messy.
The best chance you’ll get is right at the very start. Thursday morning, July 9th, at La Push (reef). Don’t get too excited, but it’s the pick of a bad bunch. The swell is a small but clean 3 ft from the SW, with a long 16-second period, so there’s a bit of groundswell energy in the water (combined energy of 570). The wind is a cross-on at 9 mph, which is the main problem, but it’s the most promising session in the whole run. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
After that, the wind just gets worse. The next small window might be Friday morning, July 10th, with a similar 3 ft SW swell, but it’s still cross-on. Then a small bump in size to 4 ft on Saturday the 11th, but the wind swings to a cross-shore, and the period drops to 10 seconds, so it’s messy and weak (combined energy of 607). The 16th of July sees a bigger 6 ft swell from the WNW, but it’s short period (8 seconds) and cross-on, so it’s just a bumpy, difficult wave – more for the experts if they’re desperate.
The long-range stuff around the 23rd and 24th of July shows a little more size, but by then it’s a week and a half away, and the winds are still onshore. The 24th of July morning has a 5 ft WNW swell but it’s poor, so don’t hold your breath. Honestly, for the next 16 days at La Push, the kite surfers might have more fun than we will. The consistent cross-onshore wind and the short period bumps mean the setup is better for them than for a clean paddle session.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
