The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day look at La Push, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 54°F.
The first real chance to get wet comes in on Sunday the 20th of July. The morning is looking like the standout of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the wind is dead calm—glass. That’s about as good as it gets for conditions. The swell energy is moderate at 527, and with it being a reef break that’s consistent, you’ll want to be out there early. Just keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes.
After that glassy Sunday morning, the week gets messy. The wind comes up and stays onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up most of the sessions. The swell hangs around through Wednesday and Thursday, but it’s mostly poor surf conditions.
We hit a bit of a dry spell from the end of July into the first week of August. The surf is small and weak, and the wind is just not cooperating. The 28th of July sees a jump in energy with a 4ft SW groundswell (19-second period) and 1050 combined energy, but the wind is cross-shore, making it a marginal call. That long period will mean long waits between sets, and it might break a bit too straight for the beach, so it’s more of a reef or point break wave.
The best long-range promise comes on the 3rd of August. We’re looking at a 6ft to 6ft WNW swell picking up, with solid energy around 777. The problem is the wind turns cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it’s a morning mission if you’re keen. That size is getting into the zone where it’s more for experienced surfers, not beginners.
Overall, the Sunday morning the 20th is your absolute best bet. The rest of the window is a lot of waiting and picking through marginal conditions. The surf just isn't consistent enough to call many standouts.
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.
