La Saladita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at La Saladita. This is a classic reef and point set-up that loves a good SW groundswell, and we've got a decent run of energy lined up. The water's sitting pretty much where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first standout session kicks off this Sunday, the 6th of September. We're looking at a solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period. That's got the wave energy humming at 1090 (moderate-strong). The morning has a light NNW cross-off breeze, keeping things clean for experienced surfers. This is a powerful, lined-up wave for those who know what they're doing.

Monday the 7th is a real beauty for the morning crew. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the SSW, still with that lovely 14-second period, but the real story is the glassy conditions with a slight air from the NNW. That's as good as it gets for a clean surface, and the energy is still at 790 (moderate). This is a top pick for a long, soulful session.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th see the swell dip a little, but Wednesday morning is another glassy gem with 3ft of SW swell and a very long 16-second period. The energy is 640 (moderate). That long period means it's going to wrap around the point beautifully, offering some real quality lines for intermediate surfers.

The middle of the week, Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, brings a return of 4ft SW swell with 15-16 second periods. Thursday has a consistent cross-off breeze, while Friday morning is dead glassy. Both mornings are offering very good conditions with moderate energy levels (921 and 739). Friday morning is a real standout for pure, unbroken glass.

We then hit a bit of a lull from the 12th through the 14th with smaller 2-3ft swell, but there are still clean windows. Sunday the 13th morning has 3ft and glass, and Monday the 14th morning has 3ft and glass again. Not big, but clean.

Things start to build again from the 15th. Tuesday the 15th morning has 4ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and glassy conditions, energy at 914 (moderate). That's a very promising window.

But the real standout of the entire run is Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning delivers a 5ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 1069 (moderate-strong), and the call is excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

We've got more good energy into the 17th and 18th, with the 18th morning showing a tiny 2ft swell but a massive 20-second period, which is very long period groundswell. That'll be super lined up on the point, even if the size is small. Energy is 664 (moderate).

The final highlight is Monday the 21st of September morning. A 4ft SW swell with an 18-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy at 1002 (moderate-strong). That's another excellent session brewing for those in the know.

Overall, there's plenty to work with here. The mornings are your friend for the cleanest conditions. The biggest, most powerful swells are best left for experienced crew, but the smaller, glassy windows are perfect for intermediates. Keep an eye on the 7th, 11th, 16th, and 21st mornings for the pick of the crop.

Rusty.
