The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming down the line for La Salina.
Right now, it’s a bit of a grim start, to be honest. The first week is pretty much a write-off with a run of poor surf conditions from Sunday the 6th right through to Tuesday the 8th. That’s a solid three days of messy, choppy cross-onshore wind and raw energy with nowhere to go – the swell’s there, but the quality just isn’t. You’d be battling wind for nothing.
Then, out of nowhere, Wednesday the 9th shapes up as the real standout of this whole outlook. Wednesday morning at La Salina looks bloody lovely. We’ve got glassy conditions, zero wind, and a clean 3ft of southwest swell rolling in with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with the combined energy reading at 568 (moderate wave energy) – it’s not big, but it’s got shape and push. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is your session. Keep Wednesday morning locked in. The afternoon holds up too with glassy 3ft and a 17-second period, a little less energy (415), but still good fun.
After that magic window, things go a bit average again. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are marginal – light cross-onshore winds and small swell around 3ft to 3ft with 15 to 16-second periods. There’ll be waves, but they won’t be clean or organised. Saturday the 12th drops right off into poor conditions again.
The following week (from Sunday 13th onward) has some more marginal looks. A pulse of short-period WNW swell shows up on the 13th, around 6ft but with only 9 seconds – that’s going to be lumpy and messy, especially with cross-onshore winds. Not one for the logbook. After that, it’s a mixed bag of small SW groundswell pulses with periods up to 20 seconds, but the wind never really plays ball – mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the west and northwest. The energy readings sit mostly in the 400 to 700 range, so there’s push, but without clean wind it’s not going to be pretty.
The best bet, without a doubt, is Wednesday morning the 9th. Mark it in the calendar, because that’s as good as it gets in this 16-day window.
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.
