The Lowdown
Right on, let’s get into it for Latigo Canyon.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you right off the bat: the next week and a half is a bit of a grind for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a long, drawn-out period of small, weak swell with average to poor winds. The energy is sitting down in the moderate range, but for the most part, it’s just not putting together anything that gets a guy excited. We’ve got a solid week of nothing special here from Thursday 27th August right through to at least early September. There are a few days in there where the swell edges up a touch, but the conditions just don’t line up. You’ll be watching the forecast hoping for a change.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the middle of the second week. Relief arrives on Sunday 6th September. It’s not a big swell, only about 3ft from the SSW, but what gets me going is the conditions. That Sunday afternoon looks glassy as a mirror – that’s a rare treat and it means silky smooth faces. The energy is moderate (398), but with clean conditions, even a small wave can be a joy.
Then we get a real highlight. Monday 7th September morning is where I’d be pointing my car. We’ve got offshore wind from the ENE, which will groom that 2ft SSW swell perfectly. The wave comment says "clean," and with the wind blowing off the land, the lineup should be tidy with good shape. This is a classic long-period groundswell (16 seconds), which will have a bit of punch and make paddling out easier between sets. Just remember, long-period SSW swells can occasionally run a bit too straight for a beach break, but a point like Latigo Canyon is the perfect home for that kind of energy. It’s the standout of the whole outlook.
After that, the surf drops off again heading into the second week of September. We get a couple more mornings with clean-ish looks, but the size shrinks and the energy fades. Overall, don’t get your hopes up for the first week, but if you can wait until that Sunday and Monday, you’ll be rewarded with a proper glassy session and a clean, offshore morning.
Stay patient, stay stoked.

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