Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up: the next two weeks around La Yerbabuena are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat to tiny, messy surf, so don't get your hopes up too high.
The whole 16-day window starts off with a real dud. From Sunday, July 5th, right through to midweek, we're looking at ankle-snappers at best. Swell heights barely tickle 0.6ft out of the WNW, with combined wave energy sitting in the doldrums—just 9 or 10 (weak energy). The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which isn't terrible, but there's just no power behind the waves. It’s a write-off for any kind of proper surfing.
We go through a whole week of this. The swell tries to bump up a tiny bit during the second week, but it's still marginal. Through Monday, July 13th and Tuesday, July 14th, we get some 1ft to 2ft waves out of the WNW, but the wind shifts onshore or cross-onshore. The wave energy climbs a little—into the low 30s and 40s (still weak), but the quality is poor.
Now, the one small glimmer comes on Saturday, July 18th. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft WNW swell with a combined energy of 65 (still weak, but the biggest we've seen). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but it might offer a few rideable corners for an intermediate. Then on Monday, July 20th, we finally get some glassy conditions—both morning and afternoon have glassy winds with 2ft to 3ft swell out of the W. Wave energy is 42. It's tiny, but if you're desperate, that's your best shot: a clean, small wave session at La Yerbabuena. No standouts here, just a couple of windows where it won't be a complete waste of time. The water temp is about 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
In short, it’s a flat spell. Hang tight and wait for a proper swell to roll in.

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.
