The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s breakdown what’s happening at La Salina.
It’s a quiet start. From Tuesday the 14th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 21st, the surf is flat and funky. Waves are tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is constantly on it or cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for. Water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Things start to look a little better around Wednesday the 22nd of July. The waves get a bit more size, and by Thursday the 23rd, we’re seeing 6 to 6 feet from the South with a 13 to 14 second period. The wind is light, so it’s not too chopped up. The energy in the water is building (1103 to 1281), but this is not for beginners – over 5 feet, it’s getting into intermediate territory.
The one day to really aim for is Saturday the 25th of July. Early morning, the swell is a clean 6 feet from the SSW, with a 13 second period and barely a breeze at 3 mph from the SSW, making it glassy. The energy is strong at 1424. The crowd is "sometimes", so you’ll have some company, but the conditions will be the best of the whole run. The swell direction is a solid match for the break.
After that, the wind howls from the NW on Sunday the 26th, and it’s back to messy, onshore junk for the rest of the forecast.
So, mark your calendar for the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That’s your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for not much.
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.
