The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the coast. Let's talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise brewing if you're patient. The main event is at La Push, a reef setup that's consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temp is feeling pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday and Sunday are a mess of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with small, weak swell. The wave energy is low, and the surf quality is poor. Monday morning, the 3rd of August, is where it gets interesting. We see glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze, and a 5 ft swell from the WNW. The energy is still moderate, but with that clean wind, it's a good window for a session.
Tuesday morning, the 4th, is another glassy winner. Same 4 ft swell from the WNW. It’s not going to be huge, but it'll be clean. These windows are the best of the early period.
Then we hit a few days of marginal surf. Wednesday and Thursday have some size, with swell hitting 6 ft to 7 ft from the WNW, and the energy jumping up—especially Wednesday afternoon. Problem is, the wind is not cooperating, coming cross-onshore and keeping it choppy. Friday the 7th is more of the same, with poor conditions.
The real standout comes on Sunday, the 9th of August. The morning session is looking prime. We’ve got a 7 ft swell from the WNW, solid energy, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s a recipe for good, clean surf at La Push. It’s a bit of a wait, but that Sunday morning is the one to circle.
After that, the second week gets a bit messy. Monday the 10th through to the end of the period is mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, with mixed swell quality. There’s a brief pulse of small, long-period swell on the 12th (2 ft from the W, 14 secs, and 1 ft from the SW, 18 secs), but the energy is low and the wind is junk. It's a tough run of days, with most afternoons being choppy and poor.
So, to wrap it up: It’s a slow start, some good glassy windows on the 3rd and 4th, but the big standout is the morning of Sunday the 9th. That’s your best bet for a solid, clean session at La Push.
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.
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.
