Las Salinas surf guide

Las Salinas is a surf spot located on the north coast, known for its fast and hollow right-hand waves. This place kicks into gear a few times a year, particularly when big north-west swells roll in. Surfers looking for excitement should take note, as this spot can pack quite a punch. Just be prepared for a crowd of local surfers, especially on weekends.

The surf here really shines when the swell is coming from the northwest, but it can also pick up energy from the west and north. It handles swells around 5 feet (1.5 meters) quite well and breaks over uneven reef, so it's important to know what you're doing out there. The wave is best at low tide but can work okay at mid and high. If you're planning your session, try to catch it with northeast winds, as those tend to make it even better. Keep in mind that this spot is suited for experts due to the conditions, so make sure you're up for the challenge.

The environment here can be intense, with rips and urchins lurking around the reef. It’s definitely not a beginner-friendly spot, so be cautious. Make sure to bring plenty of water, as it's a bit isolated out here. Enjoy the surf, but respect the locals and the ocean.
