The Lowdown

Alright, I’ll level with you, folks. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for our region, specifically El Comedor, and honestly, it’s been a rough stretch. This is a solid, consistent reef break that’s an expert-only wave, and it’s best when the swell is from the NNW. But for the entire 16-day window, from now through the first week of September and beyond, it’s just not cooperating. The forecast is full of cross-onshore winds and moderate breezes, kicking up a chop and making for poor surf conditions. The weather’s a mix of cloudy and clear, but the wind is the real killer here.

We kick off on Thursday, August 27th, with a small, weak swell of 3 ft from the NNE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a weak 100. That’s not gonna do much at all. The wind is a cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph, just making it messy. This carries on through Friday, August 28th, where the swell picks up a touch to 5 ft from the NNE, period dropping to 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 193, but the wind stays cross-on from the NE at 16 mph, so it’s still choppy and poor.

By Saturday, August 29th, we see the swell size drop a bit to 5 ft, but the direction shifts to the preferred NNW, and the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving us a notable groundswell. The energy is strong at 744. That’s the best looking swell window, but the wind is still a cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph, ruining the surface. What a waste. This pattern of “almost there” but with bad wind continues all the way through the first week of September. The swell hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft from the N or NNE, with periods mostly between 7 and 8 seconds, and energy moving from moderate to strong. The wind does shift to an “on” direction from the N or NNE, which is better than cross-on, but it’s still a moderate breeze at 12-16 mph, which isn’t clean enough for this picky reef.

The second week, from September 4th onward, we see the breeze lighten up. On Friday, September 4th, we get a light breeze from the NNW at 6 mph, but it’s still cross-on, and the swell is only 4 ft from the NNE. By Saturday, September 5th, the wind is lightly onshore from the NNW at 6 mph, with a 4 ft swell from the N. The energy is weak at 177. It’s a bit cleaner later in the week, like on September 10th and 11th, with gentle or light breezes from the N or NNW, and the swell size bumps up to 6 ft from the NNE on the 11th, with a period of 8 seconds and energy of 489. But it’s still just not a standout. The swell direction is never quite the optimum NNW, and the size is too small for this spot to really fire.

There are no good surf options in this 16-day window for El Comedor. The conditions are poor across the board. It’s a blank run for this break, which is a bummer, but it happens. The winds just aren’t cooperating, and the swell direction is off. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, you’re better off doing something else.

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.

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.
