The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break this down in feet and degrees, mate.

Alright, so the good news is we do have a standout break on the menu: El Comedor. A solid, expert-level reef break that’s consistent and exposed to that swell. The water temp’s runnin’ about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there, just standard tropical feels for a reef setup.

The bad news? For the first couple of days, it’s pretty flat. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (15th-16th September) are a total write-off. Swell’s tiny, barely 1 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is all over it – onshore or cross-onshore all the way. Combined energy is laughably weak (under 200). You’re better off findin’ a rock pool than a wave.

Thursday (17th) we see a pulse start to build, but it’s a messy one. Swell jumps to 6 ft from the NNE, but the period is a short, jumbly 7 seconds and the wind is onshore at 16 mph. Combined energy hits moderate (397-424), but it’s just gonna be a sloppy, blown-out mess. Not the kind of day you’d paddle out for; might be more interesting for the kite crew at a beach setup.

Friday (18th) is similar – 7 ft from the NNE with a 10-second period, but still that stubborn onshore wind at 12 mph. Energy is building into the strong zone (750-833), but it’s all wind chop. For an expert reef like El Comedor, onshore wind is a deal-breaker for quality. It’ll be big, but ugly.

Now, the real standout window: Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September.

Saturday morning (19th) you’re lookin’ at 6 ft from the north, 9-second period. Wind eases to a moderate breeze (9 mph) and goes onshore. It’s still marginally clean, but the energy is there (545-600). For an expert crew, this is where you start getting interested. The combo of size and a bit of period starts to give some shape, even if the wind isn’t perfect.

But the true gem? Sunday morning (20th September). The swell drops a touch to 4 ft from the north, but the period is still solid at 9 seconds. And here’s the kicker – the wind practically dies. A light 3 mph breeze from the NE. Combined energy is a solid 469. For an exposed reef like El Comedor, that’s gonna be as clean as it gets in this window. Small, but perfectly formed. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect company, but that’s the price for a quality wave.

After that window, the forecast gets a bit fuzzy. Monday 21st through the end of the month we see a drop-off to tiny 2 ft to 4 ft waves with weak energy most days, all plagued by that cross-onshore or onshore wind. There is a brief spike on Tuesday 29th September with 7 ft from the north (10-sec period), but it’s pointing to another onshore session (9 mph from N). One to watch, but way out there in the 2nd week – less certain.

So, my call for you: El Comedor, Saturday 19th morning through Sunday 20th morning is the only real window worth paddlin’ for. It’s a short, sweet burst of north swell with cleaner conditions than the rest of the week. Get on it if you can handle an expert reef. For the rest of the fortnight… it’s looking like a long gap of flat, windy days.

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.
