Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about El Confital in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of us measure things.
The outlook is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, this expert reef break is struggling to put together a clean session. There’s some swell on the way, but the wind keeps messing it up.
We start on Saturday the 4th of July with a 5ft north swell at a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (407), but a 15 km/h cross-onshore breeze makes it choppy. That afternoon is slightly smaller but still messy. Sunday the 5th drops off hard — 3ft with a poor 4-second period (29 energy) and stronger wind. The whole first week is a washout: tiny, weak surf and onshore wind.
Into the second week, around Monday the 13th July, there’s a clean-up. Morning shows 3ft from the NNW at 10 seconds, with clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is still low (113). It’s rideable but small. Tuesday the 14th is similar — nothing to write home about.
Wednesday the 15th July sees a 4ft north swell return in the afternoon, 8-second period (204 energy), but the cross-shore wind kills the quality. Thursday the 16th stays in that 4ft range, still with chop. Friday through Sunday the 19th hover around 3ft to 4ft, but the cross-shore wind or onshore wind keeps it bumpy.
No proper standout here. The break is very consistent and wide-open to swell, but the wind doesn’t cooperate. Water temp is 22° — about average. Best you’ll get is those clean, cross-offshore mornings in the second week, but you’re looking at small, weak waves. For real quality, we need a proper west swell with lighter wind. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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