Hey folks, Rusty here. Not the best news for La Yerbabuena – the whole 16-day stretch from July 7 through July 22 is a total wipeout. There's simply no good surf on offer. The break itself is a point/river that's known to be inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn't unheard of around here. Water temp is sitting at about 70°F with a slight negative anomaly, so pretty average for the time of year.
From the very start – Tuesday July 7 – it's flat and messy. Tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft WNW swell with a short period around 6-9 seconds, and the wind is either cross-off, cross, or onshore all the way through. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits (mostly under 40), so there's almost no energy in the water. Conditions stay poor – chop, cross-onshore breezes, and not a single session worth paddling out for.
As we move into the second week, there's a slight bump around Monday July 20 when the swell height nudges 4ft from the WNW with a 7-second period and the combined energy hits 110 (moderate at best). But the wind is cross-shore to cross-onshore at 12-16 mph, so it's still choppy and messy. The optimum swell direction here is SW, but we're getting constant WNW/W pulses – never lining up right. For a break that's described as 'fairly exposed', it's just not firing.
So yeah, nothing doing. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. Keep an eye on it – this spot can come to life when conditions align, but right now it's best to stay dry.

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.
