Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.
Straight up, it's a tough start. We're looking at a stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions right through until the 19th of July. That's over a week of flat, onshore slop or weak, messy windswell. The wind is blowing from the N to NNE pretty much the whole time, keeping things choppy and uninviting. The first sign of life doesn't show up until Sunday the 19th, but even then it's only a marginal call.
The main event, the only thing worth getting even a little excited about, arrives on Monday the 20th of July. We get a solid pulse of swell from the NNE, pushing 10ft. The energy is strong (1564 on the Monday morning), and the wind is looking light offshore from the North. That's a recipe for the best conditions we'll see in this 16-day window. But, and it's a big but, this is an expert-only affair. At 10ft, this isn't for the faint of heart. El Comedor is a reef break, so it'll handle that long-period, powerful groundswell well, but it's going to be a serious session for the experienced crew only.
After that peak, Tuesday the 21st still has size, with 8ft swell, but the energy drops and the conditions look more marginal. The long gap of poor surf before that big Monday makes it a real standout, even if it's a short-lived, heavy window.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. Clear your schedule for Monday the 20th if you are an expert surfer, because that's your one shot at a proper, clean, big-wave day. Everyone else, give it a miss.
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.
