The Lowdown
G’Day, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got a tough one for you. The next 16 days out at Urbiztondo Beach (La Union) are shaping up as a real battle – the ocean’s trying to give us something, but the wind and weather just won’t play ball. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
The first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn’t even show up until Monday, the 3rd of August. Before that, from Friday the 24th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August, it’s a long, flat, and poor stretch. We’ve got a solid 10-day gap with absolutely no surf worth mentioning – tiny, weak ripples, and a lot of risk of thunderstorms. Don’t bother paddling out.
Then on Monday, 3rd of August, the afternoon finally offers a glimmer. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the north with a period of 11 seconds, generating moderate wave energy (451). The wind turns cross-offshore out of the SSE at 9 mph, which means clean conditions. The swell direction is a bit off from the optimum (N is not the guidance’s favourite), but it’s the best we’ll see. This is for the experienced crew – at 5 ft from the north, it’s a manageable size, but the longer period means longer lulls and better-shaped waves.
The real standout, if you’re brave and expert-level, is Friday, 7th of August. The morning swell hits 8 ft from the west (10-second period, strong wave energy of 1067), and the afternoon pushes to 8 ft (1224 energy). That’s solid, powerful swell. The catch? The wind is a cross-shore from the SW at 22 mph, turning into a strong breeze on Saturday with 25-31 mph cross-shore winds. The surf will be lumpy, messy, and really only for the experts. At over 8 ft, it’s too big for beginners. This setup, with strong cross-shore wind and a beach break, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The crowd situation at Urbiztondo is “sometimes” busy, so on those rare clean windows, you might have company.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Monday afternoon, 3rd August, for a clean, manageable wave, and if you’re an expert, Friday, 7th August, for the biggest swell. Everything else is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Urbiztondo Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Urbiztondo Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Urbiztondo Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Urbiztondo Beach 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 (Urbiztondo Beach) 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 Urbiztondo Beach 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.
Urbiztondo Beach is 5 km (3 miles) from San Fernando. If you plan a holiday in West Luzon, look for hotels and other accommodation in San Fernando. San Fernando has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
