Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Claron over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s run through the forecast for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got some serious groundswell cropping up, but it’s not a straight run of magic. The real action is packed into two main windows, with a quiet spell in the middle. The standout sessions are going to be for experienced surfers only – this is not a beginner’s playground.
The big show kicks off on Monday, July 13th and it’s a ripper. El Claron will be running with a powerful 6ft to 8ft groundswell from the WSW. The period is a dreamy 16 to 18 seconds, giving it that long, thumping energy. The wind is glassy all day, so the face will be perfect. The combined energy is high, hitting 2505 on Monday morning and building to 3649 in the afternoon. That’s some serious grunt. This is the pick of the first week – a true standout for those who can handle it.
Tuesday, July 14th, keeps the swell pumping at a solid 10ft, but the wind swings around to a cross-off from the NNE. It’s still clean, and the energy is massive (2904 - 2588), but it’s definitely a big-wave day. By Wednesday, July 15th, the swell drops back to 6ft in the morning, but the period shortens to 11 seconds, and the wind is cross-off. It’s a good session, but the energy drops to 802. The afternoon fades further.
We hit a bit of a lull from the afternoon of July 15th through to about July 20th. The swell gets smaller and the wind patterns get messy. There’s a blip of 12ft on Friday, July 17th, but with heavy rain and cross winds, it’s a bit of a gamble. Saturday, July 18th, sees a full-on gale, so that’s a write-off.
The second standout window arrives on Thursday, July 24th. Thursday morning brings a glassy 7ft swell from the WSW with an 11-second period. The energy is a solid 1219. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers, with no wind to mess up the face. The glass holds through Friday, July 25th, with a 5ft swell, but that morning is the real prize.
The run continues into the final weekend. Monday, July 27th is also a good bet, with a 8ft W swell, glassy in the morning and clean in the afternoon. The energy is 1539. And Tuesday, July 28th, rounds it out with a glassy 5ft swell.
The standout of the whole forecast: Monday, July 13th, at El Claron. The combination of that long-period groundswell, the glassy offshore wind, and the perfect size for a good session makes it the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.

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.
