G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, the outlook for El Comedor is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions that’s gonna last for the better part of two weeks. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't come until the 26th of July, and even then it's just a marginal situation. The morning of the 26th might see some 6ft swell from the north, with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 318 (moderate). But the wind is a light cross-on from the NE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy with small wind ripples. Honestly, it's not worth getting too excited about.
The one standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of the 27th of July. It's still a long way off, so keep that in mind, but it's the only session that has a bit of promise. The swell picks up to 7ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 551 (moderate-strong). The wind is light and onshore from the NNE, which is the optimum swell direction for this exposed reef break, so it'll be clean. This is an expert-only wave, and with that size, it's definitely a big boy's game. It's a consistent spot, and crowds are often here, so expect company. Don't bother with the afternoons; the wind picks up.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. There's a solid gap from now until the 26th of July with no real recommendations. Then after the 27th, it drops back into average, poor conditions. For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a rough run. There's not much else to say, it's a waiting game.

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.
