The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at La Salina are looking pretty bleak. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off leaving the board in the car and doing something else. The surf just isn’t offering anything worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is basically one long gap with no real recommendations. It’s a quiet run, and for this area, that’s not totally out of the ordinary.
We kick off on Sunday the 13th of September with tiny, weak 2ft swell from the SSW, period at 13 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 245, and with a WNW breeze blowing onshore, it’s just messy. Poor surf conditions. That sets the tone. Monday the 14th sees a bump in height to 5ft from the WNW, but the period drops to a short 9 seconds – that’s windswell, lacking any real punch. The energy is moderate (690), but the wind stays onshore, so it’s still a write-off. The rest of that week is more of the same: tiny swells, mostly cross-onshore winds, and scores that tell you it’s not worth it.
Into the second week, the pattern holds. From Sunday the 20th to Monday the 28th of September, the swell hovers around 2ft to 4ft, mostly from the SW, with periods creeping up to 18 or 19 seconds at times. The combined energy gets into the moderate range, hitting 936 on Monday the 21st, but the wind remains stubbornly cross-onshore or onshore from the WNW, killing any chance of clean surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year – nothing unusual there.
There is no standout session here. The closest we get to something rideable is maybe Monday morning the 14th with that 5ft swell, but it’s wind-affected and short period. Honestly, if the wind ever clocks offshore, things could change fast, but as it stands, don’t hold your breath. This stretch looks more suited to a kite than a paddle. Stay tuned, forecasts can turn. Rusty out.

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.
