The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up. Straight up, it's a tough run for the foreseeable future around here. We're looking at a long, dry spell with next to nothing on offer for a solid week and a half.

The first real chance of anything even worth looking at doesn't come until Monday, the 14th of September. Before that, it's a write-off. From the 6th right through to the 12th, the wind is just hammering it onshore from the N or NNE, mixing up a 5 ft to 6 ft mess that's got no shape to it at all. The combined wave energy is moderate to strong (values between 291 and 590), but with that wind, it's just a washing machine. Not worth paddling out for.

We get a bit of a tease on the 13th, but it's still marginal. The wind finally drops right back on the Sunday morning to a slight 3 mph from the N, but the swell is still a jumbled 5 ft with a short 8-second period. There's a hint of an improvement on the afternoon as the wind shifts to a light cross-onshore, but the swell drops to just 3.5 ft. It's still not offering anything good.

Now, the standout. It's the only one we've got. The real flicker of hope comes on Monday, the 14th of September at El Comedor. This is a reef break, and it's a tricky one for experts only, so don't be a hero if you're not confident. The forecast is for a clean, glassy morning with a light S wind of 3 mph. The swell is a tiny 2.5 ft, but here's the kicker: it's coming from the NNW with a very long period of 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The wave energy is still moderate (value of 347), but that long period usually means long, lined-up walls. At a reef, that's a thing of beauty. The afternoon looks even better, going dead flat calm, 0 mph wind, and glassy conditions, with a 3 ft swell from the NNW at 12 seconds. The water temperature is sitting at 75.5°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's a touch balmy.

After that brief window, it's back to the grind. Tuesday the 15th sees a light cross-onshore creep in, and the swell drops further. The rest of the week beyond that is just more of the same poor onshore wind and small, messy waves. It's a grim outlook, but for that one morning on the 14th, if you're an expert looking for a clean, glassy reef wave, it might just be worth the wait.

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.
