Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at a slow start. The first decent surf won’t really show up for over a week, so get ready for a lot of flat, blown-out days before something worth paddling for.
Friday, July 10th at La Salina – we see a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. That’s a long one, so the shape should be there, but wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, putting a bit of bump on the surface. Wave energy is moderate (556). Saturday repeats the same: 3ft, 15-second period, cross-shore 6 mph wind. It’s marginal at best.
From Sunday through the middle of the second week, it’s ugly. Swells drop under 3ft, winds swing onshore or cross-onshore, and energy numbers fall into the 200s and 300s. Wave quality is poor. This is a stretch to skip.
Finally, on Saturday July 18th, we get a pulse. The swell comes in from the SW at 3ft, but with an 18-second period – that’s a real groundswell. Winds are cross-onshore at 6 mph. Combined wave energy jumps to a strong 910. That’s a solid sign.
The standout is Sunday July 19th. Morning: 3ft SW swell, 17-second period, light onshore wind at 6 mph. Wave energy hits 1184 – very strong. It’s still onshore, but that’s the most push we’ll see. If you’re going to pick a session this whole outlook, that’s the one.
After Sunday, it falls apart quickly. Monday the 20th through Friday the 24th is back to poor surf, onshore winds of 9 to 12 mph, and small, choppy waves.
So, mark your calendar for Sunday July 19th at La Salina. It’s not glassy, but it’s got the most juice in the water. Water temp is about normal for the season – nothing wild.
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.
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.
