The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for the local waters.
First up, we're looking at La Saladita. This is a classic reef and point, real consistent, wide open to a SW swell. Water temp is about 88°F, a touch warmer than it usually is this time of year.
We kick off Saturday morning, July 25th. Clean, cross-off breeze from the north, waves a fun 4ft from the SW with a long 21-second period. There's a lot of energy in the water (1125 total). By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy.
Sunday morning, July 26th, is the one to circle. It's gonna be glassy – flat calm. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SW, 18-second period. That's proper groundswell for this point. Energy is pumping at 2023. This is for the experienced surfer – clean, powerful lines. Afternoon brings thunderstorms and onshore wind.
Monday the 27th has another clean morning with a light cross-off wind. Swell is a little bigger at 6ft, still from the SW, 17-second period. Tuesday the 28th morning is also glassy with a 7ft swell from the SSW. That's getting big, but the point can handle it. Thursday the 30th morning holds a clean 5ft from the SSW.
Into the second week, the waves drop off. Saturday, August 1st, starts glassy but only 3ft. Sunday the 9th of August finishes the run with a clean 3ft swell from the SSW and an offshore NNE breeze in the morning.
The absolute standout is Sunday, July 26th, morning. Glassy, 5ft of clean SW groundswell, and that point will be purring. Tuesday the 28th morning is the other top pick, with bigger 7ft swell under glass. First week is where you want to be.
Go get some.

Information about the La Saladita Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Saladita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (La Saladita) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
