The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's get straight into it for the region.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta say it's a pretty grim stretch for this spot. There's a massive gap of nothing but poor conditions right from the start. We've got a run of surf on offer, but the quality just isn't there. The first real chance to get wet is on July 27th, but it's not looking good, and this tough run of form is going to last all the way through to August 11th. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of onshore wind and messy waves.
The only break in the guide is El Comedor (reef). It's an expert-only wave, and it's consistent, but for this entire forecast, it's a write-off. The wind is hammering it from the north and north-northeast, constantly onshore, making a mess of things. The swell is coming from the NNE, but it's short-period, 6 to 8 seconds, which is just windswell junk. The combined wave energy is moderate, climbing from 344 on the 27th up to a strong 920 by August 11th, but it's all for nothing with that wind. The water temperature is about 74°, which is normal for the time of year, but you won't be enjoying it.
The swell sizes will be around 4ft to 5ft for the first week, which is small and weak. By August 5th and 6th, it pushes up to 6ft, and then 7ft on the 6th, but the wind is still howling onshore. It gets bigger, hitting 8ft on August 11th, but again, with a stiff 19 mph onshore breeze, it's just a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a reef break that needs a clean, offshore wind, this is just a frustrating period. There's nothing to recommend here. Sometimes forecasts change, but right now, I'd leave the boards in the car and find something else to do.
Rusty.

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.
