The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a dry spell for the first week and a half at El Comedor. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is small, short-period junk. The first real sniff of something decent comes on Tuesday the 8th of September, but it’s only a marginal look with a light cross-shore breeze.
The big moment is Wednesday the 9th of September, morning. That’s the only real standout. Swell hits 8ft from the NNE, 9-second period, with a combined energy of 1048 (strong). And the wind goes glassy – almost dead calm out of the ENE at just 3 mph. That means perfect, clean conditions on a heavy expert reef. This is only for the experienced surfers. Water temp on the first day (the 29th) is 76°, running a touch warmer than normal.
After that, the rest of the second week is small and marginal – 5 to 6ft waves, light cross-onshore winds. Crowds are often here, so that Wednesday morning is the one to aim for.
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. 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.
