La Push surf guide

La Push is a laid-back surf spot located at the end of La Push Road (Route 110), about 15 miles from Highway 101. It’s part of Olympic National Park and features a small, relatively sheltered cove. The area has a mix of sand and gravel at the mouth of the Quillayute River. Its name comes from ‘la bouche’ meaning ‘the mouth’. The crescent of First Beach is the main surf area, where the surf can be decent but also pretty hit or miss. The coastline along from Ruby Beach to Neah Bay generally has more average spots compared to the good ones, so don’t expect waves every time you go.

The surf here really depends on the conditions. You can catch some fun beachbreak when the swell is right, especially with sizes ranging from about 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 meters). Optimal swells come from the west, with other directions like south and northwest also working. Waves typically break over sand, offering both left and right options. Mid tide is the way to go here, and you might find it’s more rideable during summer and early autumn. If you look for some clean barrels in winter, head over to the beachbreak on the north side of the rivermouth when the full north swell is rolling in.

La Push is pretty mellow when it comes to crowds, with maybe just a couple of other surfers around, so you usually won’t have a problem sharing the waves. It's a good spot for beginners, especially with shortboards, funboards, or fish. It’s best to paddle out with a bit of energy since the conditions can be a challenge. The local vibe is friendly, and the environment remains clean. Just keep in mind that isolation and loneliness can be part of the experience, so enjoy your time out there!

Readme

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
