Alright, let me put that in feet and miles per hour for you.
So for La Salina, we're looking at a bit of a slow 16-day stretch. There's a gap at the start with nothing, then some marginal windows.
Water temp is around 68° with a touch warmer than normal anomaly.
The early days are mostly cross-on winds with swell around 3 ft to 3 ft from the SSW, just chop and mess. Energy readings are in the moderate range (527 to 936).
First real chance is Wednesday the 8th, morning. Wind turns "on" from the west at 9 mph, with 3 ft of SSW groundswell with a long period of 16 seconds. The energy is moderate at 1008, but the long period means it'll have some punch. It's "marginal" due to tide, but the direction and consistency are good.
Friday the 10th and especially Saturday the 11th start looking better. The wind goes cross-shore, and then Saturday afternoon it's glassy. That Saturday afternoon is a true standout: glassy wind (south at 3 mph), 3 ft of swell, 14-second period. The energy is 444, but the glassy water will make it look perfect. Expect crowds "sometimes" but the consistency is solid.
The second week gets trickier. The real highlight is Saturday the 18th, afternoon. Clean cross-offshore wind from the south at 9 mph, 3 ft of SW swell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is 701, and the "very good surf conditions" tag with clean wind makes this the absolute best day. That long period groundswell coming from the optimum SW direction is perfect for the break.
Beyond that, you've got a lot of poor to marginal days with onshore or cross-on winds and short period windswell. Nothing over 4 ft, so it's a beginner-friendly stretch overall. For the best quality, circle that Saturday the 18th.
Rusty.

Information about the La Salina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Salina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Salina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Salina 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 Salina) 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 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.
