Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at El Brusco.
Straight up, it’s gonna be a long, quiet spell at El Brusco. We’re lookin’ at a solid two-week stretch where there’s just nothing worth paddlin’ out for. The swell stays tiny, the energy is weak as a kitten, and the wind just isn’t playin’ ball. You can pretty much write off the whole period from Saturday the 11th of July right through until Friday the 24th of July. We’re talkin’ poor surf conditions day after day – wave heights barely crackin’ 3 ft, and the combined swell energy mostly sits in the double digits, often under 100 (like 75, 64, 46). Not even worth waxin’ the board.
Now, if you’ve got patience, there’s a little glimmer way out on the horizon. Saturday the 25th of July morning shows a real spike in energy. Swell jumps to 8 ft from the NW with a period of 12 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy rockets to 1706, which is serious. Winds look to be a gentle cross-shore, so it could clean up. But hold your horses – this is 16 days out, so treat it as a promising whisper, not a guarantee. At 8 ft, this is expert territory, not for the faint-hearted or the beginner. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothin’ wild there.
The only real standout is that Saturday the 25th of July morning session. If it holds, El Brusco could see some solid, lined-up waves from that NW groundswell. Just remember, it’s a long-range call, and the afternoon on the same day starts to get a bit onshore and choppy. For the rest of the run… honestly, it’s a waiting game. Leave the board in the bag and check back closer to the date.
Rusty.

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