La Saladita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at La Saladita.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting with some clean morning sessions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°F, so it’s pretty balmy.

Tuesday morning kicks things off with a clean 3ft SSW swell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, making for tidy conditions. The wave energy is moderate (498). It’s a nice, easy start.

Wednesday morning is a real standout. We’ve got glassy conditions with a light ESE breeze, and a 3ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. The energy is ramping up (630). This is the kind of morning you set an alarm for—clean, working swell, and the point will be smooth.

Thursday morning keeps it going with a clean 4ft SW swell, same long period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. Good energy (890). The afternoons get a bit choppy with onshore winds, so mornings are definitely the call.

Friday morning is another glassy gem. A 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is barely a whisper from the east-northeast. The energy is solid (733). This is prime time.

Saturday and Sunday mornings are smaller, but still clean. Saturday offers 3ft on a cross-off, and Sunday brings a glassy 2ft. Both are good for a longboard or a fun log.

Moving into the next week, Monday the 14th morning is clean with a 3ft SW groundswell pushing a very long 18-second period. The energy is moderate (569). That long period will make for some nice, lined-up waves on the point.

Tuesday the 15th morning is a beauty. Offshore wind from the east-northeast, clean faces, and a 4ft SW swell with a 17-second period. Energy is solid (829). This is a top pick.

The main highlight, though, is Wednesday the 16th morning. This is where it gets serious. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell, the biggest of the run, with a 16-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north-northwest. The combined energy hits 1096, which is strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell is solid, so it’s not a beginner wave, but for anyone with a bit of skill, this is the session to target.

The rest of the second week stays consistent. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy with a 4ft SSW swell. Friday the 18th morning is glassy with a 3ft SW swell, but a very long 20-second period. Saturday the 19th morning is glassy with 3ft. Then Sunday the 20th morning is another standout with a glassy 4ft SW swell and a very long 18-second period, and strong energy (1014). That’s another excellent one for experienced surfers. The mornings continue to deliver through the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd with clean, 4ft SW swells each morning.

Crowds are likely here, especially on the best days, but the consistency of the swell means there will be waves for everyone. The afternoon onshores are a consistent pattern, so stick to the dawn patrol.

Rusty out.
