The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk La Push. This is a consistent reef break that wants swell from the WSW. Water temp is 58°F right now, which is about a degree colder than usual—so grab your thickest wetsuit and maybe some booties.
The first week is a real grind. Starting Wednesday the 12th, we’ve got waves, but they’re tiny and ugly. A 2ft swell from the SW, with a super long period of 18 seconds, but the wind is cross-on from the WNW at 6 mph, making everything weak and bumpy. Energy is only 310—really weak. Thursday the 13th morning bumps up to 4ft but the period crashes to 7 seconds, making it a short-period, choppy mess with cross winds. The rest of that week is stuck in the 2ft to 2ft range with similar poor conditions. Saturday the 15th morning has a slight breeze and a 2ft, 18-second swell, energy up to 396, but it’s still cross-on and tiny. Everything from here through Tuesday the 19th is either “poor” or “marginal” with light but never clean winds. If you just want to get in the water, you can, but don’t expect much.
Wednesday the 19th morning shows a bit of hope: 3ft from the west, period down to 12 seconds, and energy hits 514—moderate. But the wind is onshore from the WNW. Thursday the 20th morning is the best of this early stretch: 5ft from the WNW, 11-second period, light cross-on breeze, and energy at 671. It’s still marginal, but for a beginner or someone happy to log a few small waves, that’s your window.
Then it goes quiet again. From Friday the 21st through Tuesday the 25th morning, the swell drops back under 3ft, winds are mostly onshore or side-onshore, and energy stays below 400. That’s a solid few days of nothing special.
But here’s the real deal: Wednesday the 26th afternoon. Swell hits 8ft from the WNW, period at 9 seconds, and the energy skyrockets to 1685—strong. Wind is cross-on from the NW at 9 mph, which isn’t glassy, but with that much water moving, La Push will be a heavy, powerful reef. That’s big: over 8ft on some sets. Experts only. If you’re not comfortable with overhead, fast, reef waves, stay on the beach. Thursday the 27th morning keeps the energy high at 1009 with 7ft, lighter onshore wind from the west at 6 mph. That whole stretch from Wednesday afternoon into Thursday is the standout—big, strong, and heavy.
The standout session is Wednesday the 26th afternoon. It’s a long way out, so keep checking the charts, but if that holds, it’ll be the most exciting swell of the whole outlook. For the rest of the time, it’s mostly small and messy. Get your heavy-wave gear ready for that one.

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.
