The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about La Push. This is a reef break that’s exposed to the south-west, consistent and beginner-friendly, but the water is way colder than usual for this time of year – about 4.9°F colder than normal, so you’ll want a thick suit. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with a lot of marginal or poor conditions, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get your heart pumping.
Week one – nothing really happening Friday through Sunday. Small, short-period swell and mostly cross or cross-onshore winds make for choppy, messy waves. Then Monday 20 July morning is the real standout. The wind goes glassy, the swell picks up to 4.6 ft from the west-northwest, period around 8 seconds – not the ideal direction for this spot, but the glassy conditions will make it clean and fun. Wave energy is moderate (527). Crowds are possible, but with that quality it’ll be worth sharing. The afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy, so make the most of the morning.
After Monday it’s back to mediocrity. Tuesday 21 through Thursday 23 have small swell, onshore or cross winds, and low scores. Friday 24 and Saturday 25 are a bit better with some longer-period SW groundswell, but winds are cross or cross-off, and the swell is still small. Not a standout.
Second week – the pattern shifts. From Sunday 26 July onward, we start seeing longer-period SW groundswell in the 16–20 second range, with moderate to strong combined energy (up to 956 on Sunday afternoon, 1025 on Tuesday 28 morning). The best bet in this stretch is Wednesday 29 July morning: 4.0 ft SW swell at 17 seconds, light cross-onshore breeze, and a score that suggests it’s the pick of the week. The long period means more power and better shape, especially on a reef, but it’s a touch cross-onshore so not perfect. Thursday 30 July afternoon is also promising with 4.3 ft SW at 16 seconds and light onshore wind – again, not glassy but still surfable. After that, the last couple of days (31 July and 1 August) drop back to small, cho

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.
