The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next few weeks.

First off, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. There’s a proper long gap of nothing worth getting wet for, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you’re going to need some patience.

Looking at the whole forecast, it’s mostly flat, small, and messy. The first real whisper of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday, July 25th. That’s a solid 11-day stretch with no recommendations at all. For this area, a blank run like that isn’t unusual, but it still stings.

The only spot with any pulse is La Yerbabuena, a point/river setup that’s fairly exposed to the SW swell. It’s inconsistent and doesn’t break often, so when it does, it’s worth noting.

Saturday, July 25th, there’s a slight tease. The Saturday morning session shows a glassy, calm sea with a 4ft swell pushing from the WNW, period around 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (136). It’s small, but the glassy wind means it’ll be clean. Not a standout by any means, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is around 72°F, which is about average for this time of year.

Sunday, July 26th, the morning has a similar feel – 3ft from the WNW with a light cross-offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean again. The combined energy is moderate (126). Still small, but okay for a paddle.

Beyond that, we’re back into tiny, choppy, or cross-on junk. The long period (11 seconds) on the afternoon of July 27th is a tease, but it’s only 1.0ft and cross-shore wind, so it won’t offer anything.

Honestly, if you’re waiting for a proper session, you’re better off checking back in a week. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, the only real window is that Saturday and Sunday morning around July 25th and 26th. Keep an eye on the sky.

Information about the La Yerbabuena Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for La Yerbabuena provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Yerbabuena can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Yerbabuena 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 Yerbabuena) 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 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.
