The Lowdown

Gutted, folks. I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks and honestly, it’s looking like a bit of a write-off for getting any proper waves at El Comedor. We’ve got a solid reef pass that wants to go off, but the conditions are just lining up all wrong for the entire 16-day window.

Right out of the gate, Saturday the 8th through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at onshore northerly breezes, moderate at 12-16 mph, and a junky, short-period swell. The swell is there, in the 5 ft to 6 ft range, and the energy is moderate, sitting around the 200-425 mark, but it’s all coming from the NNE with a period of just 6-7 seconds. That’s just windslop, mate. It’s going to be messy, with waves closing out all over the place. Even though the water’s holding at 75°F, which is normal for this time of year, the surf itself will be a constant battle. Sunday the 9th through Thursday the 13th is more of the same, a week of onshore junk.

Now, this is where I’ve got to be straight with you. The swell is just under 5 ft for most of this time, so it’s not huge, but the quality is just not there. The break at El Comedor prefers a solid NNW swell, and we’re getting everything but that. It’s a frustrating week ahead. The NNE is just constantly wrapping in and making a mess of the lineup.

There’s a slight tease around the 14th and 15th, where the swell pushes up to 6 ft and the energy bumps into the 300s and 400s, but the wind just stays on it, 12-16 mph onshore, so it’s still a washout. The period stays short, so it’s not even like there’s any real power behind it.

Going into the second week, from the 17th, things only get smaller. The swell drops back to 4 ft to 5 ft. The energy is mostly moderate but weakening, and the wind doesn’t let up. It’s a long, drawn-out period of nothing to get excited about. A little glimmer appears on the 22nd and 23rd, where the period stretches out to 8-9 seconds, but it’s still cross-onshore and with the swell so small, it’s not going to be worth the paddle.

The takeaway is simple: there are zero good surf options in this window. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just the way it goes sometimes. The conditions are persistently poor, and with the wind stuck in that northerly quadrant the whole time, a spot more exposed to the north might see something, but for El Comedor, it’s a hard pass.

Here’s the honest truth: with that constant onshore wind and the lack of any real period, this setup looks a whole lot more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers. You’d just be fighting the chop and the current with no reward.

Hang in there. Forecasts can always shift, but as it stands right now, I’d be finding something else to do for the next couple of weeks.

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.
