The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. The first week or so is looking pretty marginal, with a lot of poor surf conditions and tricky winds. The real standout in the whole 16-day window is the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August, when a decent pulse of longer-period swell lines up with some clean, offshore winds.

The only break we've got in the mix is La Salina. It's a consistent, exposed beach break that's good for a beginner, but crowd levels are *sometimes* an issue, so you might have some company.

The first real glimpse of anything worthwhile doesn't arrive until Saturday, the 15th of August. The morning sees a solid 4ft SSW swell, with a period of 16 seconds, pushing a moderate combined energy of 777. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, which should keep the surface clean. The afternoon holds similar size, 4ft, with the same long period, and clean offshore breezes from the W. This is your best bet for the whole forecast – a proper, clean, long-period groundswell that should offer some fun walls.

The 16th of August (Sunday morning) still has some 3ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, which isn't ideal but might still offer something rideable. The energy dips to 542.

For the rest of the run, from the 17th of August onwards, the swell drops back to 3ft to 3ft, with periods shortening and the wind often cross-onshore or onshore, making for choppy, average conditions. The last few days of the forecast, around the 21st and 22nd of August, show a little more consistency with 3ft SSW swell and light cross-shore winds, but the energy is moderate and the quality is still only marginal.

So, to put it simply: the first half of the window is a write-off. The only real standout is the 15th of August. Get out there early on Saturday the 15th for the cleanest, most powerful waves of the whole outlook. The Sunday morning might also be worth a paddle, but the wind will be a factor.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts for the following week.

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.

La Salina is 31 km (19 miles) from the city of Ensenada. If you plan a holiday in Baja Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ensenada. Ensenada has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
