The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Push. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
The overall pattern is one of persistent, small to moderate swell but with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind messing it up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Saturday morning, July 25th. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SW, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 16 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate (512). It’s small, but it’ll be clean.
Things start to look a bit more promising on Monday morning, July 27th. The swell is still only 3ft from the SW, but the wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” The combined energy is moderate (625). For a beginner reef break, this is about as good as it gets in this window.
The standout period, however, is the tail end of the run. On Thursday morning, August 6th, the swell jumps up to 7ft from the WNW. That’s a solid size, but with a period of only 8 seconds, it’s a short-period windswell, not a clean groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph, and the combined energy is strong (763). This is borderline big for the beginners, but for the more experienced crew, that’s got some push. The caveat is the short period means it’ll be a bit dumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out ride.
Friday morning, August 7th, sees a still-juicy 5ft from the WNW, but with a light onshore wind from the WNW, it’ll be a bit messier.
If you’re a beginner, stick to the Monday morning window. For the more experienced, that Thursday, August 6th morning is the one to circle. Just be aware it’s a short-period swell, so it’s not going to be a classic point-break session.
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.
