The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get straight into it.

Honestly, this outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the conditions aren't playing nice for a proper surf session at El Comedor. You're looking at a stretch where the swell is pumping in, but the wind and the wave shape are just not cooperating. It’s like the ocean is teasing us, showing us waves but refusing to clean them up.

The swell direction is coming from the northeast, but this spot really wants a northwest swell. That mismatch is creating messy, poor surf conditions. We're seeing wave heights around 4ft to 6ft, with periods mostly in that short 7-second range, which is just not producing any real power or shape.

We're going to have a long gap here with no good surf on offer. From the start of the forecast, right through the first week, every report says the same thing: "poor surf conditions." The wind is constantly onshore, blowing from the north or northeast, and even when it's just a light breeze, it's still ruining the wave faces. The water temp on the morning of the 8th is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.

The energy in the water is weak at first, with combined swell energy values in the 200s and 300s, which is that moderate range but not doing us any favors. Then, around the 14th, the energy kicks up a notch—we see values jumping into the 440s (442 on Friday morning), which shows there's more power, but the quality just doesn’t follow. It’s frustrating.

There isn’t a single standout day in this entire period. The swell does ease off slightly in the second week, dropping to around 4ft, but the wind remains a constant issue. The period stretches out to 9 seconds by the 19th, which is better, but it's still not enough to overcome the poor quality.

So, what’s the call? Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, you might be better off finding a different hobby. This setup looks way more interesting for the kite surfers who can handle the onshore wind. For us paddle surfers, it's a blank run. The good news is that this spot is usually consistent, so I’d keep the faith. It won’t stay this poor for long.

Keep an eye on it, but for now, the surfboard stays in the car.

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.
