The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the coast. Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for El Comedor. There’s no real standout, no “drop everything and go” session. The whole forecast is a bit of a grind, with poor surf conditions flagged every single day. We’ve got a solid run of moderate to strong onshore winds, which is gonna keep things messy.

The pattern starts from Thursday the 16th of July, with a weak 3ft NE swell pushing in at 5 seconds and only 93 combined energy. The wind is cross-on from the NNE at 19 mph, so it’s already choppy. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We roll into Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th, with the swell bumping up to 4ft–5ft, but the period stays short at 6–7 seconds, and the wind is still cross-on or onshore at 12 mph. The wave energy climbs from 143 to 224 (moderate), but the “poor surf conditions” tag doesn’t change.

The second week is where the swell really starts to build, but it’s still not good news. From Sunday the 19th through to Thursday the 24th of July, we’re looking at 6ft to 7ft swells from the NNE, with periods of 7–8 seconds and onshore winds from the N and NNE at 12–16 mph. The energy sits in the moderate range, mostly between 286 and 487, but it’s all blowing onshore.

Now, the end of July starts to get interesting in terms of size, but not quality. On Saturday the 25th, the swell jumps to 8ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 680 (strong). The wind goes light from the NNW at 9 mph in the morning. That’s the closest we get to a decent window – clean offshore wind, but the swell is still short-period and a bit too big for beginners. It’s expert territory at that size. The energy stays strong through Sunday the 26th (705) and Monday the 27th (637), but the wind swings back onshore.

The last few days – Tuesday the 28th, Wednesday the 29th, and Thursday the 30th – see the swell peak at 8ft with a period of 9–10 seconds and energy hitting 942 to 1000 (very strong). That’s proper groundswell, but it’s still coming with onshore or cross-on winds from the N and NNE at 12 mph. The break is a reef, so it can handle the size, but the wind is the killer. It’s just not clean.

Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, this setup with all that onshore wind and solid swell might be your jam. But for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for quality waves. Hang in there, the forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be looking for a different hobby for a couple of weeks.

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.
