Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Alright, straight up—this isn’t a pretty picture for the first week and a half. We’ve got a real rough patch on our hands. For the most part, it’s onshore wind, weak little windswells, and pretty choppy conditions. You’re not going to want to rush out for anything until we get to the second half of the run.
Friday the 10th through Thursday the 24th is mostly a write-off. The surf is small and junky, with short-period swell, and the wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore out of the N or NNE. There are a couple of moments where the swell bumps up a bit—like Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th, with some moderate wave energy (198 and 135) from the NNW—but the wind is still not giving us clean lines. It’s just not worth the paddle for a decent wave. A couple of days around the 16th and 17th see the swell push over 5 ft, but it’s still with 15 mph onshore winds, so the quality is poor.
Now, the standout. The one true glimmer of hope, and it’s a beauty, is Saturday morning, July 25th. Mark that one on the calendar.
For the morning session, El Comedor is your spot. This is a proper reef break, exposed to the optimum NNW swell direction. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell from the NNE, with a moderate period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is strong at 504. But the real magic? The wind goes glassy—literally, glassy—out of the NNW at just 3 mph. That is about as clean as it gets. The wave comment says it expects very good surf conditions, and I’m with that. This is a sharp, exposed reef setup, so it's strictly for the experts; it can handle that size. The water temp is 72°, which is about average for this time of year. Be aware that this break sees crowds often, so on a morning like that, you’ll have plenty of company.
The afternoon on the 25th loses that magic, with the wind swinging onshore, so get it while it’s clean. The late month sees a few other days with swell around 6 ft, but the wind doesn’t cooperate, so stick to that Saturday morning window for the best of it.
Stay patient, keep your wax warm, and I’ll catch you out there.

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.

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.
