A Great Left

If you’re a goofy footer, then La Saladita is a great choice for you. La Saladita offers a superb left-hand point break from a long distance offshore, so make sure to game up your paddling, since it will take you a long time to get to the point break. But, it will be worthwhile because it will allow you to ride the waves for a longer period than at other surf breaks. If you’re not into long distance paddling, there are other shorter distance take-off points scattered along the coastline of La Saladita, which are also perfect for beginner wave riders.

Best Time To Go

La Saladita catches swell all year round, but the best time to catch its waves is in the summer and fall. Winter is typically busier however, so if you want to go in the winter, plan ahead and get your reservations early. The weather is dry and warm throughout the year, so it’s a nice getaway for those who want to escape colder and wetter climates. The nicest part about La Saladita’s waves is that it is uncrowded and surfable at any time of day. However, you might want to watch out on busier months, especially when surfing festivals are being held on the beach.
