La Saladita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some real nice, clean conditions on the horizon, so let’s get into it.

The overall pattern is looking pretty sweet. We’re not talking about any massive, churning swell, but a steady, consistent run of clean, waist-to-shoulder-high groundswell with plenty of those morning glass-offs we all live for. The water is sitting right around average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a surprise warm or cold spike.

The best of the best is hands down the morning of Friday the 7th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period pouring into the point. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, making for some seriously clean lines. The wave energy is building nicely too, hitting 693 (moderate energy). It’s a classic La Saladita morning.

Before that, we have a few solid sessions to warm up. Monday morning, the 3rd, is a great start to the week. Glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and 312 (moderate energy) on offer. The waves will be small but clean and fun. Tuesday morning, the 4th, is a bit smaller at 2ft, but still glassy with the same SSW direction. Wednesday and Thursday mornings also have that glassy, clean feel with 2ft and 3ft swells respectively.

Now, that Friday morning, the 7th, is the real standout. That 18-second period swell is a proper groundswell, and at a point break like this, it’s going to wrap in beautifully. The wave energy is up to 693 and the light cross-off wind is what dreams are made of. It’s going to be a magical morning.

Saturday the 8th morning is another beauty. A bit bigger at 4ft, still from the SSW, with a 16-second period and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is up to 819 (moderate energy). It’s going to be a punchy, fun wave. Sunday the 9th morning is glassy again with a 4ft SSW swell, and the 14-second period will keep things nice and lined up.

Monday the 10th is a bit of a mixed bag with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind, but the swell is still there. The real takeaway is the Tuesday morning, the 11th. We’re back to glassy conditions with a 3ft SW groundswell and that long 18-second period again. The energy is 778 (moderate energy). It’s a fantastic session.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th mornings are also clean and fun, with 3ft and 3ft swells respectively. The Friday the 14th morning is a little bigger, 4ft, with a clean cross-off breeze and a 18-second period. The energy is up to 963 (moderate energy), so it’ll have some push.

The final standout is Saturday the 15th morning. Dead flat calm, glassy, with a 4ft SW groundswell and a 16-second period. The energy is 845 (moderate energy). It’s a big, clean, powerful day at the point. After that, we have a few more clean mornings on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, with smaller swells, but still plenty of fun to be had.

So, keep your eyes on those mornings. The setup is prime for La Saladita. The break is known to get crowded, especially on these good days, so get out there early. The period is long, so it’s a proper groundswell that will wrap around the point perfectly. It’s going to be a good run.

Rusty.
