Alright, let’s switch it up for the Imperial crowd. Rusty here, and we're looking at the same stretch, just in feet and miles per hour.
The start is a bust – a few days of junk you don't want. Real action kicks off Wednesday, July 8th at El Claron. That morning is glassy with a clean 5ft SW swell, a long 16-second period, and a combined energy of 1768 (moderate). This is for experienced surfers – good shape but heavy. Crowds are a possibility.
Friday, July 10th is another standout – same spot, glassy morning. Swell is 5ft from the SSW, 13-second period, energy of 1231 (moderate). Clean, lined-up fun for the experienced crew, and a little more user-friendly than the 8th.
A gap of a few days follows, with small and bumpy conditions until Sunday, July 13th and Monday, July 14th, both offering glassy mornings with 3ft to 4ft SW groundswell. Energy is low (around 600-700), but the wind is dead calm. Perfect for a longboard.
The big standout is Monday, July 20th. The morning brings a massive 13ft W swell, 14-second period, and a whopping 5447 energy (strong to very strong). That’s expert-only territory and it’s clean with a cross-offshore wind. This is the best session of the whole run, for sure. The afternoon still has a 12ft W swell and clean conditions.
Tuesday, July 22nd closes it out with another glassy morning – 4ft SSW, 13 seconds, energy of 819. Just a clean, calm end to the forecast.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to worry about.
Stay sharp, and don't sleep on that 20th.

Information about the El Claron Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Claron provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Claron can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Claron 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 Claron) 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 Claron 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.
El Claron is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Quintero. If you plan a holiday in Santiago, look for hotels and other accommodation in Quintero. Quintero has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
