The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at El Comedor for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest – it’s a rough stretch. The swell is coming in from the north-northeast most of the time, which is clean off the wind for this spot, but it’s just not working. The first solid pulse of swell hits around Wednesday, September 2nd, with waves hitting 7 ft, but the wind is howling from the NNE at 16 mph, putting it straight onshore. It’s choppy, messy, and surfing is a write-off. The combined wave energy is moderate at 595, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. Water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Through the rest of that first week and into the second, it’s the same story – plenty of swell, with heights staying in the 5 ft to 7 ft range, but the wind never really lets up. It’s either onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbly. The energy numbers climb into the 700s, but with that wind, it’s a washout. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th see a dip in size, but the wind is still junk.
We finally get a gap in the wind around the 16th of September, but the swell is tiny. Thursday morning the 17th has a 2 ft swell from the NNW with a longer period of 11 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze, but the energy is low at 167. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. For a spot that’s exposed and consistent, this is a real bummer. The forecast is pessimistic, and unless things change, you’re better off keeping the board in the car. It’s a solid stretch of poor surf, and I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
