The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for La Push over the next couple of weeks.
The outlook kicks off with a bit of a sluggish start. We’ve got waves, but conditions aren’t really coming together for a quality session right out of the gate. The first real standout looks like Monday morning, the 3rd of August, down at La Push (United States). There’s a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat and will make the surface as smooth as a mirror. The combined swell energy is moderate at 362, so there’s enough push to get you into a few waves. This is a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the swell, so it’ll be working. Just keep in mind, the swell period is short, around 7 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and won’t have that long, drawn-out wall you get from a bigger groundswell. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, the size is just right, and with glassy conditions, it’s a good shout for a quiet paddle. Water temps are running about 55°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
After that Monday morning window, things get messy. Later that same afternoon, the wind swings around to a moderate cross-onshore and chops things up. From Tuesday through to the end of the first week, it’s mostly a story of light to moderate cross-onshore winds and mediocre surf. There are plenty of waves in the 4 ft to 6 ft range, but the quality just isn't there. Tuesday morning the 4th has a bit of swell but with a light cross-onshore ripple, it’s only marginal.
Looking further out, there’s another potential bright spot. Friday morning, the 14th of August, shows a building 5 ft swell from the WNW with very light onshore wind. The combined energy ramps up to a solid 726, so there’s some real grunt behind these waves. Again, the period is short (7 seconds), so don’t expect those long, peeling walls, but for a reef break, this could offer some punchy, fun lefts and rights. It’s a promising call, but being over a week away, keep your expectations in check – the forecast can shift.
Between these two standouts, there’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The afternoons are particularly nasty with moderate cross-onshore breezes. You’ll have to pick your windows carefully. If you’re after a clean, glassy session, that Monday morning the 3rd is your best bet. For something with a bit more power, keep an eye on that Friday the 14th.
Stay frothy, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
