The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards, yeah?
Honestly, for the next week and a half, there's little to get excited about. We've got a solid run of "poor surf conditions" stretching from Wednesday, the 26th of August right through until Monday, the 7th of September. That’s a long dry spell. Most of the time it’s onshore or cross-onshore, with moderate breezes messing things up. The swell we do get is generally weak, short-period stuff, and it’s just not coming together.
The one standout, and it’s a glimmer, appears on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. El Comedor is a reef break, expert only, and it’s consistent. It’s exposed to the north-west. On that morning, we’ll see a clean 6ft swell from the NNE at 8 seconds, and with a light breeze from the northeast. That’s a light cross-onshore, with only small wind ripples, making it the cleanest we’ve seen in days. The combined swell energy will be moderate, at 435. It’s still only a marginal forecast, and the swell direction isn’t ideal for its optimum north-northwest, but it’s the only window where the conditions are even worth a look. Tuesday afternoon then goes back onshore with a moderate breeze, so the window is tight.
For the rest of the window, it’s a write-off. The last day, Thursday the 10th, still shows poor surf with a light cross-onshore. There just isn’t one seriously good day in the whole run.

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.
