The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty grim. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile, and what little shows up is barely worth a paddle.
The first chance comes Saturday, August 1st. There's a tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, with a moderate energy reading (385), but the wind is a cross-on 12 mph from the WNW, making it a poor, choppy mess. The water is 71°, which is a touch warmer than average.
Then it all goes quiet. From Sunday the 2nd through Wednesday the 6th of August, the waves drop to 2ft to 2ft, the wind stays onshore, and the scores are all zeros or ones. A total write-off.
The next little blip comes Friday, August 7th. We get a pulse of very long-period groundswell from the SSW, about 2ft with a 19-second period. The energy is solid at (537) but the wind is light and cross-on. You might find a clean wave at La Salina if you’re keen, but with a period that long, expect long waits between sets. This marginal pattern holds through the weekend of the 8th and 9th, with waves around 3ft to 3ft.
The second week is worse. From the 10th of August, the winds pick up, turning onshore and cross-onshore. By the 13th, a moderate 12-15 mph breeze from the WNW and NW kicks up the chop. The swell actually builds to 4ft on the 15th from the SW with a strong energy reading (802), but the wind is ruining it completely – it looks more like a windy mess than a surf session, maybe a kite day.
So, no standout sessions. The only faint glimmer is the 7th or 8th, everything else is a long stretch of poor to flat conditions. It happens sometimes.
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.
