The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for La Push over the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off a stretch that’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days aren’t anything to write home about. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are pretty average, with a short-period, onshore wind swell that’s just not making the most of what’s out there. The water is sitting at a chilly 54°F, which is a whopping 5°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a serious anomaly, so you’ll want a thick suit.
The real standout in this whole window is Monday morning, the 20th of July. The wind goes glassy, swinging light from the west, and we’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW. It’s a short period at 8 seconds, but with that clean, glassy surface, the wave quality is expected to be very good. The combined energy is moderate (533), and with the reef handling that short-period energy, it should be peaky and fun. La Push is a reef break, consistent, and exposed to the swell, but it can get crowded sometimes. For a Monday morning, you might dodge the worst of it.
After that, we slide into a long, flat-to-small spell. From Monday afternoon all the way through to the end of the month, it’s mostly small, messy, and cross-onshore. A few days like Thursday the 24th show a very long-period 26-second swell from the SW, but it’s only 2ft – that’s a whisper, not a roar. The energy is still moderate (623), but the size is too small for a proper surf. The wind is onshore, so it’s a scratchy one.
The first week of August doesn’t look much better. Saturday the 1st is small and poor. Sunday the 2nd has a little bump in size with a 5ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s too chopped up for a good time.
So, the honest truth: if you want the best of the whole 16 days, point your car toward La Push for the morning of Monday the 20th. After that, it’s a long stretch of marginal conditions until the forecast changes. Keep an eye on it, because this area tends not to stay dead for long.
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.
