Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Saladita over the next 16 days.
Alright, listen up. Let’s talk about La Saladita over the next couple of weeks. This spot is a classic reef and point that loves a clean SW swell, and the charts are looking pretty friendly. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
The real action starts this Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period, and the energy is clocking in at 765 – that’s a solid push. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. This is gonna be the best session of the whole run. Perfect, lined-up waves. The afternoon turns onshore, so you gotta be on it early.
Sunday the 12th is almost as good. A bit smaller at 4ft, still from the SSW, still 14 seconds, and another glassy start with a light breeze. Another top morning.
Monday the 13th is a touch smaller at 4ft, but the cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. Good fun.
Tuesday the 14th is a real gem. Only 3ft, but the period is 13 seconds and the wind is glass again. The energy number is 690, which is high for the size, meaning the long-period groundswell is wrapping beautifully. Expect long, clean walls.
Wednesday the 15th morning is also glassy with a 2ft SW swell, but it’s got a long 16-second period, so it’ll have way more shape than you’d think. The afternoon gets messy.
Thursday the 16th morning is another glassy one with a 4ft SSW swell, 12 seconds. Solid and clean.
We hit a bit of a flat spell through the 17th and 18th with small waves and onshore wind. Not worth a paddle.
Now, look ahead to Monday, July 20th. The morning shows a 4ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, and the energy is pumping at 1045 – that’s strong. The wind is glassy again. This is a real standout for the second week, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon gets onshore, but that morning is a beauty.
The rest of the second week has some smaller, cleaner mornings, like the 21st and 22nd, with waist-high waves and clean conditions, but nothing special. The 26th of July has a glassy morning with a 2ft, 19-second period swell – super clean but very small.
So, bottom line: get out there Saturday morning, the 11th, and mark your calendar for Monday the 20th. The afternoons are almost always a bust, so go early.

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.
