Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.

Right off the bat, the outlook for the next two weeks is a bit grim, I won’t lie. There’s a lot of poor conditions in the forecast, so we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The first solid recommendation doesn't show up until the very end, with over a week of mediocre to poor surf before anything remotely decent pops up. So, get ready for a flat spell with a possible flash of something at the end.

The only real stand-out I can see is El Comedor – a reef break that takes some skill. It’s exposed to the swell and likes it from the NNW. The water is about 72°F which is pretty normal for this time of year, no big anomalies there.

We start off Friday, 3rd July, with a bit of a tease. A 5ft swell from the N with a period of 9 seconds rolls in, and the combined energy is moderate (434). But the wind is a light cross-onshore, so while there’s some size, it’s not clean. After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing for days. Between Saturday the 4th and Thursday the 16th of July, the conditions are consistently poor. The swell stays small to modest, from 2ft up to 5ft, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the N or NNW at 9 to 12 mph, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell period is short too, mostly 5 to 6 seconds, so no real power or shape. The energy levels are low, often well under 200. Honestly, it’s a write-off. If you’re a kite surfer, the steady side-to-onshore winds and that chop might be your thing, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.

Now, hold onto your boards because things change around Friday the 17th of July. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the NNE, period jumping to 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 263 – that’s moderate, starting to get some push. Still, it’s a NNE swell with onshore wind from the N at 9 mph, so not perfect. But it’s a step up.

The real potential, the standout in this whole sorry stretch, is Saturday the 18th of July. The swell builds to 7ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, both from the NNE with an 8-second period. The energy hits 478 in the morning and 573 in the afternoon – strong to very strong wave energy, no doubt about it. This is proper swell. However, and it’s a big however, the wind is still onshore from the N at 12 mph. For El Comedor, a reef break, that NNE swell direction isn’t spot-on, but it’ll wrap in. That size is expert territory – 7ft is more than 5ft, so it’s too much for beginners, and at over 7ft, only for experts. The wind conditions mean it won’t be glassy, but there will be plenty of water moving. Crowds? This spot is often busy, and with this amount of energy on offer, you can expect the local crew to be out in force. This is the one to circle on your calendar, but keep your expectations tempered with that onshore wind. It’s a promising prospect, not a guaranteed gem.

So, to sum it up: a long, flat, windy gap, and then a heavy, powered-up day for the experts only at the very end. That’s the hand we’re dealt.
Stay salty.
Rusty.

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.
