Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this region.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for La Push over this 16-day window is a frustrating one. We’re looking at a long stretch of marginal conditions, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind messing things up. There are no true standouts here, just a few windows where you might get a session if you're desperate. The best of the bunch looks to be the very first morning, Friday July 3rd.
Friday morning, July 3rd, is your best bet. We’ve got a clean, glassy 4ft swell out of the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy from the WSW at only 3 mph, so conditions will be clean. The combined energy is 335, which is moderate. It’s the only time in the whole run where the report says "expect good surf conditions," so get on it early.
After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing good. The rest of Friday gets choppy, and from Saturday, July 4th, all the way through to Wednesday, July 15th, the story is the same: small swell, often under 3ft, and winds that are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, creating choppy, poor conditions. We do see some interesting long-period groundswell pulses, like the 18-second and 20-second swells on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of July, but they are tiny – only 2ft to 3ft – which is too small to do much with, especially at a reef setup like La Push. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Later in the run, around Thursday, July 16th, and Friday, July 17th, the swell does pick up again, hitting 5ft to 7ft. But again, the onshore and cross-onshore winds are forecast to ruin it, with the report calling it "poor surf conditions" on most of those afternoons. There’s a shot on the morning of Friday, July 17th, with a 6ft WNW swell and light offshore wind from the west, but the report still only gives it a marginal rating. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it.
For a reef that’s exposed and consistent, and usually a good beginner spot, this is a tough stretch. The combination of small, messy swell and poor wind means the paddle out is going to be less rewarding than it should be.
Stay patient, 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.
