The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for El Comedor over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook for El Comedor is a pretty frustrating one at the start. We’ve got a long, dry gap before anything even remotely worthwhile shows up, with the first week largely written off. The wind is relentless, blowing from the north and onshore most days, and the swell is either too small, too short-period, or just messy. The combined swell energy barely gets above moderate for the first week, so you’re not missing much.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t arrive until Wednesday the 23rd of September – that’s a full week away. On Wednesday morning, conditions finally set up for a session. We get a glassy, windless morning (a huge plus), with a 2 ft swell from the NW at a very long period of 17 seconds. That kind of period is serious groundswell, and for a reef break like El Comedor that’s exposed to the swell, it should produce some well-shaped, powerful lines. The combined energy is sitting at 428 (moderate), and it feels like it could be the cleanest window we see. Later that day, it pushes up to 3 ft with 16-second period, but the onshore wind returns, so the morning is definitely the pick.

Thursday the 24th keeps some potential with 4 ft NW swell at 14-15 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore to cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy. Not terrible, but not glassy either. The water temp here is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual to report in that respect.

After that, the surf steadily fades again through the end of September, with weak 1 ft to 3 ft swell and periods dropping back under 12 seconds. The wind stays mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s a bit of a slog.

Then, late in the window, on Tuesday the 29th of September, there’s a spike: 5 ft to 6 ft from the NNW with a long period of 14-15 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a massive 1286 (strong to very strong), so there’s plenty of power in the water. However, the wind is cross-onshore from the NE, leading to a fairly choppy surface. This size – 5 ft to 6 ft – is within bounds for most experienced surfers, but the bumpy conditions mean it’s not the classic clean session you’d hope for with such a solid swell. It could still offer some heavy, lined-up waves for expert surfers who don’t mind a bit of chop.

So, the standout is undeniably the Wednesday morning session on the 23rd of September, with that glassy 2 ft NW groundswell. It’s the cleanest opportunity in the whole forecast, but it’s a long way out. The bigger, more powerful swell on the 29th is exciting in size, but the wind lets it down. If you’re patient, there are a couple of windows to work with, but don’t expect non-stop action.

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.
