The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up.
Only one break in the picture, La Salina, and it’s a bit of a slow burner. The first few days are messy with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, so don’t bother rushing out. The first real chance of something clean comes on Wednesday the 9th.
Wednesday morning the 9th is the pick of the early run. The wind goes dead glassy, and we’ve got a clean 3ft of swell from the SW with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, with a combined energy of 509 – moderate, but with that period it’ll have some real punch. Water temp is 69°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it’s mostly marginal. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see some light offshore winds and clean conditions, but the swell drops to between 2ft and 3ft, with periods hanging around 14-16 seconds. The quality is decent, but there’s just not much height.
We hit a flat patch from Saturday the 12th through Monday the 14th – the swell shrinks and the period drops to 8-9 seconds, so it’s pretty weak and not worth your time.
Things start looking up again around Monday the 21st of September. That morning we’ve got light cross-onshore winds and 4ft of SW swell at 17 seconds. Then Monday afternoon is another beauty – the wind goes glassy, the swell holds at 4ft with a 16-second period, and the energy jumps to 703. That afternoon session is the best of the whole run, but it’s over a week away, so don’t lock it in just yet – forecasts can change.
Not a lot of size overall, but the windows of quality are real. If you can get out Wednesday the 9th morning or Monday the 21st afternoon, you’ll be on it.
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.
