The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at La Salina.
Alright, listen up. La Salina's got a bit of a slow start, but there's a sneaky good run hiding in the back half of this forecast. For the first week, it's a whole lot of "meh" – the wind is messing with things, and the swell is small and messy. We're talking days of marginal conditions with cross-onshore winds and pretty weak wave energy, mostly in the 280 to 460 range. It's not a total write-off—you might get a knee-high or waist-high wave if you're desperate—but you’ll be fighting the chop. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Now, hang on, because things change right around the 22nd of July. A proper S swell starts to fill in, and the wind looks like it's gonna play nice. We're seeing a solid pulse of swell hitting 7 to 8 feet, with a period around 14 to 16 seconds, pumping the combined energy way up into the 2000s (2347 to 2644). That's some serious juice. The real standout is the 23rd of July. The swell is peaking at 8 feet from the S with a 14-second period, and the wind is forecast to be light and onshore or cross-onshore, making for some clean, powerful waves. That's expert territory for sure—over 8 feet, but it's the kind of size that gets the heart pumping. The light wind (6 mph) is a major bonus. The 22nd afternoon is also a cracker with a 7-foot swell and light cross-shore wind.
Before that, on the 22nd morning, it's a bit smaller at 7 feet but still a good option. After that, the swell sticks around into the 24th with 7 to 8 feet, but the wind gets a bit more aggressive, making it choppier. The 25th looks like a write-off as the wind picks up and the quality drops. Later in the week (26th onwards), the swell drops back down, but the wind goes light again, offering some clean if small waves to finish the period.
So, the pick of the litter is undeniably the 23rd of July. That's the day to call in sick if you’re a confident surfer. The 22nd afternoon is a solid backup. The rest of the time, you’re either waiting for it or dealing with messy conditions.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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 Salina 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.
