The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of days are looking pretty flat and frustrating around here, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. We’ve got a bit of a lull to start, so don’t rush to wax up just yet. The real action starts to build later in the week, and there’s one window that’s got my attention.
Right now, through Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s pretty grim. Tiny, weak swell and mostly cross-onshore breezes are making a mess of things. You’re looking at ankle-biters with poor shape, nothing that’s going to get your heart rate up. We need to be patient.
Things start to shuffle a little on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. The swell picks up a touch, but it’s short-period windswell, so it’s going to be lumpy and disorganized. The wind is light, but it’s still onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit of a battle. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s not pretty.
The weekend brings a mix of tiny SW groundswell with those long, 14 to 18 second periods, but the size is just too small to get excited about. It’s knee-high at best. The light winds on Sunday the 16th will keep it clean, but there’s just not enough water moving to make it worth the paddle.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 17th is the standout. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze and a solid 3ft of SW groundswell with a 16-second period. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and has some push. The light offshore wind will keep the faces lined up. This is your best bet for some proper waves.
After that, the wind gets a bit stronger on Tuesday the 18th, but it’s still cross-offshore, so it might be manageable. The swell drops a little, but it’ll be a bit more textured.
The middle of the following week brings a bigger push of W swell, but the period drops and the winds get a bit weird. It’s going to be a bit mushy and lined-up, but the size will be there. Wednesday the 19th sees 5ft of W swell, but it’s a bit cross-onshore, so it could be a bit lumpy. Thursday the 20th is similar, with 5ft, but the winds are lighter. It’s not a classic, but there’s definitely waves to be had. Just be aware that over 5ft, this could be a bit much for beginners.
The last few days of the window, from the 22nd to the 25th, look like we’re fading back into that small, inconsistent stuff. A couple of mornings with glassy conditions and small, clean waves, but nothing that’s going to make you call in sick for work.
The best bet is definitely Monday the 17th. Clean, glassy, with a nice long-period SW groundswell. The energy is moderate, around 365, but it should be clean and fun. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Other than that, it’s a waiting game. The surf will find its rhythm again, but it’s going to take a week to get there.

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.
