Alright, let’s talk about La Push. Classic reef break, consistent and exposed, but the upcoming weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, mostly a disappointment.
We’re starting off in early July, and the surf is tiny. Saturday the 4th brings a 2ft swell from the SW with a long 15-second period, but the wind is onshore and the wave energy is weak (299). It’s small and choppy. Through Sunday the 5th, we get a bump to 5ft, but it’s short-period windswell and the wind is tearing it up. The energy is moderate (345 to 471), but the quality is poor.
Monday the 6th into the week is a slog. Monday afternoon sees a 5ft swell with moderate energy (882), but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. There are a few mornings with light breezes and that 2ft long-period SW groundswell – energy sits between 478 and 811 – but conditions are marginal. The wind just won’t ease up enough to let it clean up. Tuesday afternoon shows a very long period of 20 seconds, but with the light onshore flow, the shape is still off.
The problem is that nearly every session from the 4th right through to the 19th is flagged as poor. It’s a long, quiet stretch with nothing truly recommendable. We see a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 16th with 5ft from the WNW and a short, weak period of 8 seconds with a light breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and the score is low. Then on Friday the 17th, the swell hits 6ft from the WNW, the biggest of the forecast, but again, it’s cross-onshore and choppy with a short period, so it’s just a blown-out mess. The energy is strong (705), but for a paddle surfer, it’s not worth the effort.
If you’re desperate, the Tuesday 7th morning and the Thursday 16th morning are your best bets. The swell is small, around 2ft to 3ft from the SW, with that long period giving some shape. The wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be lumpy but not unmanageable. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
For the whole 16-day window, the paddle surfing is looking rough. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with 5ft to 6ft of short-period swell and moderate cross-onshore wind might be more interesting. But for clean, rideable waves? This is a stretch to sit out.
Stay patient.

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.
