Yo, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
So, La Saladita is looking like it’s got a solid run of waves coming in. It’s a classic reef and point set-up, so it loves a good, long-period swell. The water is sitting at 88° and it’s feeling about 2° warmer than it should be for this time of year, so it’s warm.
The first day to really get excited about is Monday morning, July 6th. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The wind is glassy out of the NE, and the energy is pumping at 1455. That’s going to be some beautiful, lined-up waves for the experienced crew. This is the pick of the early run.
We’ve got a few more mornings that are worth getting up early for. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th both have glassy NNE winds with chest to head-high 5ft to 6ft SSW swell. The energy is strong – 1804 on Tuesday morning – so there’s plenty of power. The longer period (18 secs) will make for some proper, clean walls peeling down the point.
The pattern holds through the weekend, with clean mornings on Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, but the swell starts to ease a bit. The 4ft to 4ft, 15-second SSW swell is still fun, but it’s not the standout.
Looking further out, that Monday morning the 20th of July is another one to circle. Glassy conditions, a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the energy is solid at 647. It’s a smaller day, but for a more relaxed session on a classic point, it’s going to be clean and fun. The crowds are often here, so expect some company.
The afternoons, for the most part, are a mess. The wind swings around to the south or west, turning the surface choppy and messy. Stick to the early windows.

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.

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.
