The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
You know, I gotta be straight with you – looking at this 16-day window for La Push, it’s a tough stretch. The swell is present, but the conditions just aren’t lining up for a proper session. We’ve got a lot of marginal days and some real poor ones, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The water is sitting at a chilly 53°F, which is a massive 6°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so bring a thick suit and booties if you’re heading out.
The first real glimmer of something rideable is on Thursday afternoon, July 16th, but even then, it’s only a 2ft swell from the west with a long 17-second period, and the wind is a light cross-shore. It’s marginal, and the combined energy is moderate at 441 (moderate). The light cross-shore wind will keep the surface a little bumpy, but it’s not a choppy mess. It’s the best of a bad bunch for the next few days.
Friday, July 17th is similar, with a 4ft swell from the WNW (11-second period) in the afternoon. The combined energy jumps to 675 (moderate), but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so expect some chop. Still not clean.
The window from Saturday, July 18th through Sunday, July 26th is a long run of marginal surf with cross-onshore winds and short-period swell (8-9 seconds). The swell hangs around 4ft to 6ft, but the quality is poor. The only real standout – and I’m saying this with a heavy heart – is Saturday morning, July 25th. We get a 2ft swell from the southwest with a very long 24-second period, combined energy of 546 (moderate). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s messy. This is a very long period groundswell, which can be tricky at La Push as it’s a reef setup, but it might draw some clean lines. It’s the best on offer, but it’s still marginal.
After that, the last few days of the forecast (July 27th to 29th) fade into poor conditions with cross-onshore winds and choppy seas. The wave energy is still moderate (values like 887 and 733), but the wind and chop ruin it.
If I had to pick one highlight, it’s that Saturday morning, July 25th session. The long period from the SW is your best shot at any real shape, but with a moderate cross-shore wind, it’s not going to be perfect. It’s a low-confidence call that far out, so keep an eye on it.
Stay patient, the water’s cold, and the forecast is flat. It’ll turn around eventually.

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.
