The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, 'cause I've been staring at the charts for El Comedor and it's a bit of a tough read for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We're looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions from now until around the 13th of September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, coming out of the NNE and N, blowing at 9 to 15 mph, just chopping everything up. The swell is there, around 4 ft to 6 ft from the NNE, but the period is a short, weak 7 to 8 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate, hitting the 400s at times, but with that wind, it's just messy. Don't get your hopes up for this first week.
Now, there's a little flicker of hope on the morning of Monday the 14th. The wind swings around to a light SE breeze at just 3 mph, coming cross-offshore. That's clean. The swell drops right down to 2 ft, but look at the direction: it's coming from the NNW, which is bang on the optimum for this reef. The period jumps up to 13 seconds, a proper long-period groundswell. Combined wave energy is moderate (245). This is the only window that looks surfable, but it's tiny. For a break that's consistent and exposed, this is a very specific, small window. It's not a standout for size, but for clean conditions, it's your best bet if you're desperate.
After that brief tease, it's back to the onshore slog. The wind shifts back to NE and N directions, and the swell stays small with short periods. The energy drops off into the 100s and 200s. The 18th and 19th of September see a little bump in swell back up to 6 ft from the NE, but the period is still a short 7 seconds and the wind is on it. It's a no-go.
So, the honest truth? This is a long, dry spell. The only half-decent chance is that tiny, clean morning on the 14th. For a reef that handles a longer period, it might offer a few fun, glassy waves, but it's going to be small. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for a paddle. If you're into kites, the onshore wind and moderate swell might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it's a tough outlook.

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.
