The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Conchitas. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for decent waves. There's no standout, firing swell on the horizon, so temper those expectations.
We start on Tuesday the 8th of September, and honestly, it’s a tough go. We’ve got some SW swell pushing in around 4ft, but it’s coming with a strong cross-shore wind out of the SSE at 16 mph, which is just chopping everything up. The water is a warm 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over three degrees above average, which is very unusual. It feels like a bath out there, but the surf quality doesn’t match. The combined energy is a moderate 725, but with those winds, it’s all a bit of a mess.
The middle of the month from Wednesday the 9th through the 23rd is a real struggle. Swell sizes hover around the 1ft to 4ft mark, and while there are some long-period SW groundswells in there (14-20 seconds), the wind is almost always cross or cross-on. This is a beach and point setup, so with these conditions, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Expect consistent wind and small, jumbled waves. There are no real standouts in this period; it’s a blank run of poor to marginal conditions with not much to get excited about.
If you’re really desperate, the mornings on the 23rd of September offer a tiny glimmer of hope. A 4ft SW swell with a long 14-second period and a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a moderate 471, but with the breaks being inconsistent to begin with, it’ll still be hard work for a small, shifty wave. It’s not a day to recommend to a mate, but it might be your only shot at a soggy paddle.
Stick with it, because forecasts can change. It doesn't tend to stay this quiet forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Conchitas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Conchitas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Conchitas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Conchitas 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 (Conchitas) 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 Conchitas 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.
