The Lowdown
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim for El Comedor. We've got a solid stretch of poor surf conditions from Tuesday the 8th all the way through the 13th. It’s mostly onshore and cross-onshore winds with waves in the 4 to 6 feet range, but the quality is just junk – choppy, messy, and not worth paddling out for. The swell energy is moderate at best, hitting around 307 to 552 (combined energy), but it's short-period wind swell, around 7-8 seconds, which is just gonna be bumpy. For the first few days, the water is sitting at 75° with a 1° anomaly, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
Finally, on the 14th, things start to shift. That’s Monday morning, the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SE, and we see the swell drop to 2 feet from the NNW with a much longer 13-second period. That’s the first real glimmer of clean potential. The energy is weak at 268, but that longer period and clean conditions are what you want. By Monday afternoon it goes glassy with a 2 feet NW swell. This is the standout of the whole window – a brief window of clean, glassy conditions, but it’s small and inconsistent so don’t expect much. After that, Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy with a 2 feet NNW swell, but it’s weak and ordinary.
Then we fall back into the onshore pattern. From the 16th through the 23rd, it’s a lot of poor surf, mostly under 3 feet, with short-period junk and onshore winds. The energy drops off to weak levels, often under 200 (combined energy), and while the direction does flirt with the NNW optimum angle for El Comedor, the period and wind just kill it. There’s a brief cross-offshore breeze on the 23rd afternoon with 2 feet waves, but honestly, that’s not enough to get excited about.
Bottom line: Monday the 14th is your best bet – tiny but clean, and that's it. It’s a long run of nothing after that, but that's the nature of this stretch. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change.

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.
