The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's get into it for La Push.
Alright, the outlook for this stretch is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got consistent swell on the cards, but the wind is going to be a real pain for most of the first week. The water is sitting at 55°, which is a solid 4° colder than what's normal for this time of year, so it's notably chilly.
The first real window of opportunity looks like it's going to be on Saturday morning, July 25th. We're looking at a small but long-period swell coming from the SW, about 2ft with a 24-second period. That's a proper groundswell, and the energy is moderate at 514. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It'll be better for the more experienced crowd as the long period can make it a bit tricky, but it's a clean start.
The surf picks up a little over the next few days, but the wind stays mostly cross-off or cross with moderate breezes, keeping conditions marginal. The energy builds nicely, hitting 1026 (strong) on Sunday afternoon, July 26th, with 4ft of SW swell, but the wind is still a factor.
Tuesday morning, August 5th is a standout for the more experienced surfers. We're looking at a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, but at 8 seconds, it's a short-period wind swell. The energy is strong at 617. The wind is light and onshore, which isn't ideal, but the size is there. At over 8ft, this is expert territory. For a spot like La Push, a reef break that is consistent, this could be a good session for those who know what they're doing, but the wind is a caveat.
Aside from that, the period is filled with mostly poor or marginal conditions due to the wind, with many days being written off as poor surf. The best chance for a decent paddle is on the morning of August 4th, where we have a 5ft WNW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 304.
So, to sum it up: the standout is the bigger swell on Tuesday, August 5th, but it's for experts only. The cleanest, most surfable wave is likely to be the morning of Saturday, July 25th or Tuesday, August 4th, where the small swell meets good wind. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but it's not a total write-off.
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.
