Alright, mate, gotta level with you – this La Yerbabuena forecast is a bummer. From July 8 all the way to July 23, there's no surf worth your time. Nothing. The swell's tiny – most days 1–3 ft, a little 3 ft on July 16 and a brief 4 ft on July 23 – but the wind's a mess. Onshore, cross-onshore, or cross-shore almost every day, chopping the surface. Even on the 23rd when we get a cross-offshore east wind at 15–19 mph, the wave energy is only moderate (145) and the period’s short at 7 seconds. Swell’s coming from the WNW, but this point really needs SW to get going. Water temp’s around 70°, about average for this time of year – nothing to write home about.
La Yerbabuena itself is a proper point/river wave, top quality when it’s on, but it’s inconsistent and often packed when it works. So a dry spell like this isn’t unusual for the spot. The ocean’s just taking a breather. Check back soon – these outlooks can change. 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.
