Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one. We’re looking at a solid run of surf coming up, but you’ve gotta be patient and pick your moments. The first few days are a bit messy with that cross-onshore wind, but there’s a proper window of clean, powerful swell waiting for us.
The main event is undoubtedly El Claron, a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the SW. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. The big story is the swell. We’ve got a long period groundswell (15-16 seconds) rolling in, which is great for a point break like this – it’ll hold up and give you some proper lines.
The first couple of days, Monday and Tuesday, are a write-off. The wind is on it, and the combined energy is weak to moderate. It’s too choppy to get excited about, and the waves are marginal.
The First Standout: Wednesday, 8th July
This is where it all changes. Wednesday morning is glassy. The wind is dead calm. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong, and the report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” For an intermediate, this is your sweet spot. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and consistent. There’s a chance of a few people out, but it’s worth it.
The Second Standout: The Big One (14th-16th July)
Now, if you’re an expert, your eyes should be on the following week. Tuesday the 14th afternoon turns glassy with a 8ft WSW swell and strong energy. By Wednesday the 15th, it’s pumping: 8ft from the WSW, glassy, with massive energy. Thursday the 16th is still clean with a 7ft swell. This is powerful, clean, and for experienced surfers only. The swell is big, but the wind is off or glassy, so the point should handle it beautifully.
After that, the wind turns onshore and the rain comes in, but the swell holds. The 20th of July looks huge – 13ft to 15ft from the WSW with exceptional energy. That’s a monster, and definitely for experts only. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but that size is a serious commitment.
To sum it up: the best bets are the glassy morning on Wednesday the 8th for the intermediate crew, and the big, clean window from the 14th to the 16th for the experienced lads. The later stuff on the 20th is next level.
Stay safe, stay stoked.

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.
