Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk surf in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a solid stretch of waves lined up, starting this Thursday morning and running through the first week with plenty of energy. The water is 88°, a touch warmer than normal for the season – real bathwater stuff.
The absolute standout is Sunday morning, July 5th, at La Saladita. You’re looking at a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm, perfect for a long, peeling point break ride. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1196, so there’s serious power behind those waves. It’s an exposed reef and point set-up, and that SSW direction is nicely aligned with the optimum SW. Expect clean, groomed lines with no bump. Crowds are likely, so be early.
Monday morning, July 6th, is another beauty – same 4ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, glassy conditions, and the energy climbs to 1455. Tuesday morning, July 7th, pushes the size up to 6ft with an 18-second period and glassy wind – combined energy is 2013. That’s strong wave energy, and at nearly 6ft with that long period, it’s expert-only territory. The wave will have serious grunt.
Midweek on Wednesday morning, July 8th, you’ve still got a solid 5ft SSW swell, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms and a 9 mph ESE cross-off wind keeping it rideable. Not as perfect as the weekend, but still plenty of push.
Through the second week from Thursday, July 9th, the swell backs off a bit – mostly 3ft to 4ft – with a mix of glassy mornings and light offshores. Energy gradually drops from about 882 down to the 300-400 range by the middle of the following week. Nothing huge, but there are clean windows on Friday morning, July 10th (offshore), Saturday morning, July 11th (glassy), and Sunday, July 12th (glassy all day). Monday morning, July 13th, sees a light offshore too.
From Wednesday, July 15th, the swell gets weak, dropping to 2ft to 2ft by the end. The afternoon of the 15th gets messy with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. Not worth it.
So the first week is the real deal – especially Sunday through Tuesday. Get on it.
Rusty.

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.
