Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
The water is sitting warm at about 88°, a little warmer than average – nice.
We start off this Friday morning, July 3rd, at La Saladita. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the NNE at 3 mph. It’s a consistent reef and point, and that slight offshore wind makes for smooth takeoffs. The combined energy is moderate at 738.
Saturday morning the 4th stays glassy, with a slightly smaller 3ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. Good for a mellow session.
Here’s the standout: Sunday morning, July 5th. A proper 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 1196. The long period will make those waves wrap perfectly around the point, giving you long, beautiful rides. This is the one.
Monday morning the 6th is just about as good — 4ft groundswell, 16 seconds, glassy again, with energy at 1455.
Tuesday the 7th gets bigger, with swell hitting 6ft and an 18-second period. That’s a powerful groundswell for the experienced guys. The morning has a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE at 3 mph, and the combined energy hits 1800. Respect it.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th keep offering 5ft to 4ft SSW swell, with plenty of glassy mornings — especially Thursday with zero wind.
The second week still has waves, but the size drops. Mornings from Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th give you glassy 4ft to 4ft SSW swells. After that, you’ll see a smaller run around 2ft to 3ft before a little pulse on Saturday the 18th with a clean 3ft SSW swell.
Bottom line: Sunday morning the 5th is your best bet. Don’t sleep on it.

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