Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Yerbabuena over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – La Yerbabuena is looking pretty flat for the foreseeable future. Water temp is normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news.
From Friday the 10th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, it’s a wasteland. Surf heights barely hit 3 ft, periods are short, and the combined energy is weak. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making a mess of what little swell there is. The easterly wind cleans things up from the 19th, but by then the swell has dropped to 1 ft or less – clean, but unrideable.
The only faint glimmer is on Friday the 24th of July, when the morning swell hits 4 ft from the WNW with a 7-second period and combined energy of 143. A strong 37 mph cross-offshore wind will keep it clean, but that’s heavy wind, so only for the experienced. Saturday the 25th of July offers a bit less: 3 ft from the WNW, 7-second period, 80 energy, and a cleaner 19 mph cross-offshore breeze. It’s something, but not a standout by any stretch.
No real standout to call here. The only time you might consider paddling out is in that last couple of days, and even then it’s a tough call with the wind.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at La Yerbabuena can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Yerbabuena 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.
