The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming.
This forecast is a tough one. We’ve got a gap of no surf worth talking about from the start of the period all the way to Thursday, July 30th, and even then, it’s a struggle. The first real chance we get is at La Salina on Thursday afternoon, July 30th. The water is at 71°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
That Thursday sees a 5ft swell from the S, with a 14-second period, giving it decent energy (1145). The combined swell energy is moderate, so there’s some push. The wind is a cross-on from the WNW at 9 mph, keeping it a little lumpy. It’s a consistent break, so you’ll get waves, but expect some chop. This is the only window that comes close to being worth a session, but the wind holds it back from being a standout.
Late Friday morning, July 31st, drops to 3ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period and moderate energy (641). The wind is onshore at 9 mph, which is a bit cleaner than the cross-on, but the size is dropping. From Saturday, August 1st, onward, it’s a slow decline. Swell heights run between 2ft and 4ft, with a mix of cross-on and onshore winds. The period drops to 8-9 seconds by Sunday, meaning shorter, weaker, less organized waves.
The energy drops into the triple digits (250-334) for the weekend, and by Monday, August 3rd, it’s marginal. There’s a small bump in period on Friday morning, August 7th, with a very long 19-second swell from the SSW, but it’s only 3ft, and the wind is onshore at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (599), but the size is too small to make the most of that long period.
For the rest of the second week, from August 7th onward, the swell stays small, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds (9-12 mph). The energy is all over the place, from 148 to 575, but with those winds and minimal size, it’s hard to get excited. The water temp stays about the same.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best you’ll get is that Thursday afternoon, July 30th, with the 5ft S swell, but even then, the wind messes up the quality. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a long stretch of small, choppy, or onshore conditions. Don’t get your hopes up. Maybe the next forecast update will bring better news.
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.

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.
