Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Push over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here.
So for La Push, it’s a bit of a waiting game over this stretch. The water is real cold for this time of year, sitting at about 52°F, which is a solid 6°F colder than usual. That’ll wake you up – get the thick rubber on.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Sunday morning, July 12th. There’s a small 0.3 to 0.6ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, energy around 386. It’s a bit marginal, though – not much push yet. The rest of that first week is mostly small and choppy from a cross-onshore breeze. Tuesday the 14th and onward are the same story – small surf blown out by the afternoon.
Saturday the 18th’s morning shows a little hope with 2ft of WNW swell and light offshore wind. Then, here’s the one you want: Sunday morning, July 19th. You’ve got a proper 2ft of WNW swell, 8-second period, and the energy is up to 737. The wind is glass. That is clean, lined-up reef break potential at La Push. That’s your best bet in the first week.
After that, it’s back into messy wind for a few days before we get a big pulse. Wednesday the 22nd pushes to 2ft to 2ft from the WNW, energy up to 891 – that’s solid power. But it comes with onshore wind, so it’ll be lumpy.
Now, Thursday morning, July 23rd – that is the big one. 2ft of WNW swell with 9-second period and 1000 energy. That’s the most powerful reading of the whole forecast. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it could be heavy and powerful. That is expert territory only. It’s a solid week and a half out, so don’t bank on it being perfect, but keep an eye on it.
After that, the swell drops off into the next week, staying smaller and choppier. Last chance is on Monday, July 27th, with a tiny 0.6ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period and glassy morning wind – real long-period lines, weak energy, but could be fun on a longboard.
So to sum it up: your standout session is Sunday morning, July 19th for clean, glassy waves around 2ft. Then Thursday morning, July 23rd for the biggest, strongest swell – but that’s all experts with the size and lumpy conditions.
Keep it on your radar.
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.
