Alright, let me break it down for you.
First thing, the water is running way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 3° above the norm – that’s a real standout. The only break we’re looking at is El Brusco. The one and only real shot comes early Friday morning, July 3rd. It’s dead glassy, with a light NNW breeze, and a 4ft NW groundswell with a solid 12-second period (moderate wave energy at 298). That’s a long-period groundswell, so expect clean, lined-up waves with some punch, though it might wall up a bit on a beach break. For an advanced spot like El Brusco, that Friday morning glass-off is your best bet.
After that morning, it’s a long, flat stretch. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Saturday, July 18th, it’s pretty grim. Cross-onshore breezes, choppy surfaces, and tiny, weak swells (energy mostly under 100). There are a couple of glassy moments on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 17th in the morning, but the swell is barely 1ft to 2ft – not even worth the wax.
So, bottom line: one clean, 4ft window on the 3rd of July morning, then a solid two-week gap of nothing worth chasing. The area is only "fairly consistent" so this kind of quiet spell isn’t unheard of.
Hang in there.

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.
