The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for El Comedor. We're looking at a long, dry spell to kick things off, with no real surf to speak of for the first several days. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell just isn't cooperating. Don't get your hopes up too early.

The first glimmer of something worth paddling out for shows up on the morning of Monday the 14th of September. We get a window of glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze at 3 mph. The swell is from the NNE at 4ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate at 287, but the forecast is for "good surf conditions." It's not going to be world-class, but it's the first clean option we've seen.

Things get a bit more interesting as we head into the second week. The standout here looks to be the morning of Monday the 21st of September. We have a clean morning with a slight air from the NNW at 3 mph. The swell is from the NNW at 3ft, but the period jumps up to a very long 16 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a strong 553. That long period will create some nice, well-shaped lines, but at a reef break like this, it could be a bit tricky with the sets. It's a promising call, but a week and a half out, we'll have to keep an eye on it.

Following that, the Tuesday the 22nd morning still holds some potential with a 4ft NNW swell (13-second period, combined energy of 704), but it's with a light onshore breeze. It's worth a look, but that Monday morning is the one that has my attention.

Overall, the water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild. Just remember, this is an expert-level reef break, and when the swell does show up, especially with that long-period stuff, it can be a handful. Keep your wits about you.

Rusty.

Information about the El Comedor Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for El Comedor provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Comedor can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Comedor 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 Comedor) 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 Comedor 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.
