The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – El Comedor is a world-class reef break for experts only, but it’s having a shocking run over this 16-day window. Most of the period is a total write-off with poor conditions. The water temp is sitting around 75°, which is about normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

We kick off Monday the 7th of September with some lumpy NNE swell around 5ft, but it’s short-period windswell at just 7 seconds and a moderate onshore breeze is ruining it – combined wave energy is moderate (457). It’s messy and blown out, not worth paddling for.

That same windswell pattern hangs around through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with swell heights between 4ft and 5ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The energy stays moderate (204 to 423), but the surf quality is poor – just choppy, bumpy junk. Not what you want at a reef.

Friday the 11th sees a bump in size up to 6ft from the NNE, same short period, still onshore wind. Combined energy hits 425 – moderate, but again, poor surf. Saturday the 12th pushes into 7ft from the NNE, energy climbing to 581 (still moderate), but it’s blown out with that northerly wind. At this size and with that wind, it’s a washing machine – experts only if they’re desperate.

Finally, we get a small window of hope on Sunday the 13th of September. Swell drops to 5ft from the N, period stays short at 8 seconds, but the wind goes light cross-onshore. The score nudges up to marginal – still not great, but at least it’s not a total mess. Combined energy is 319. The light breeze is your only real chance to find a clean-ish wall, but don’t expect much.

Monday the 14th of September is a tease – a clean-looking 3ft swell from the NNW with a proper 13-second period shows up in the morning. That’s a groundswell with some push, and the wind is only a light cross-onshore. Combined energy is 301 – still moderate. This is actually the standout of the whole forecast. The swell direction matches the optimum NNW, so the reef should line up nicely. But the size is small, and it’s inconsistent – maybe a sneaky session for a longboard or a fish. After that, it fades fast.

From Tuesday the 15th, we’re back to tiny, weak energy (151 to 209) with onshore winds. A brief pulse on the morning of Thursday the 17th hits 6ft from the NE with 8 seconds, but the wind is onshore again – just poor conditions. Combined energy is 469, but it’s messy. The rest of the week into the 22nd is a slow slide into flatness with windswell barely making 2ft, period dropping to 10 seconds, and combined energy under 100. It’s dead.

So the only real standout is that brief window on Monday the 14th of September morning – a rare, small, clean groundswell from the NNW at El Comedor, with light winds. For a reef that demands perfection, it’s not much, but it’s your best shot. The rest is a long, frustrating gap of onshore slop and flat days.

Signing off, 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.
