Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about La Saladita.
The water is about 88°F, which is a touch warmer than we'd normally see at this time of year. Always a bonus.
So, it's not gonna be pumping straight away. Tuesday afternoon is a mess with an onshore breeze making a mess of that 5-foot SSW groundswell. The energy is huge, but it's all choppy. Hold out for Wednesday morning, July 8th. That's your first big standout. We've got clean 5-foot SSW swell, a proper 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the North at just 3 mph. It'll be smooth and lined up. This spot is a reef-and-point set-up, so that long-period energy will wrap in real nice.
Thursday morning, July 9th, is also looking clean with another 4-foot SSW swell and that same light North cross-offshore breeze.
But the real jewel of the week? Friday morning, July 10th. The swell drops a touch to 4 feet from the SSW, but the wind goes totally *glassy* out of the North at 3 mph. That means perfectly smooth, clean surf. On a long-period swell like this (15 seconds), the point break will be the spot to sit.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is another glassy winner with a 4-foot swell. The consistency here is solid – this wave is known for holding its shape.
Looking into the second week, still some nice windows. Wednesday morning, July 15th, sees a glassy, 5-foot S swell with a shorter 10-second period – more of a wind swell, but with clean skies, it's worth a look.
The next real good-looking morning window is Saturday, July 18th. We get a 3-foot SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions. That's a special combo for this point. Sunday, July 19th, also has a clean morning with a 3-foot SW swell and that 17-second period.
The bottom line for La Saladita: The first real standout is Wednesday morning, July 8th, and the glassy magic of Friday morning, July 10th is your best shot for clean, peeling waves. Stick to the clean mornings; the afternoons here tend to get chopped. This spot is consistent enough that even with some rough afternoons, it won't stay flat for long.
Rusty.

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).
