El Claron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk surf for the next couple weeks in feet and miles per hour.

We’re looking at a classic point break at El Claron. The real standout is Monday, September 21st. That morning you’ve got a clean 6ft SW groundswell, long 11 second period, light offshore breeze, and the energy’s pumping at 787. It’s gonna be a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of us, that’s the session to chase.

Before that, Sunday the 13th morning is a beauty – glassy, a clean 5ft SW swell, moderate energy at 667. Not huge, but smooth and fun. Water temp is about average for the time of year.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are frustrating – some size but constant cross-onshore wind messing up the face. Rideable, but not special. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th drop off to small 2ft waves. Thursday morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy’s weak at 176 – longboard or foil territory.

There’s a dry patch from the afternoon of the 21st through the 24th. Wind gets nasty, gusty and onshore. The 22nd has an 8ft SW swell but with 19 mph cross-onshore wind – choppy mess, expert-only, more of a kiter’s day. Energy hits 1835 but it’s not for paddling.

Things clean up Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th mornings. Glassy conditions, 4ft to 5ft SW swells, moderate energy around 465-491. Solid recovery.

The late highlight is Sunday, September 27th morning. Glassy, 5ft SW swell, period at 10 seconds, strong energy at 613. Clean and punchy – the second best window of the whole outlook.

Monday the 28th morning has a 7ft SW swell with a 13 second period and energy at 1808, but light cross-shore wind might put a bit of texture on it. Still, powerful and long.

So, Sunday 13th morning and Sunday 27th morning are your cleanest bets. For power, Monday 21st morning is the standout. Crowds are possible at El Claron, so get there early.

Rusty.
