Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's coming up at El Comedor.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a bust. We're looking at a full-blown dry spell, surf-wise. The whole run from now until July 21st is a write-off for any kind of quality surf. The wind is just relentless from the north and north-northeast, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore, and it's that constant moderate breeze, 9 to 16 mph, that's just chopping everything up. The swell is pretty weak for a long stretch, with combined energy barely cracking 100 (179 at best early on) and the periods are short, mostly 4 to 9 seconds, which means weak, wind-affected junk.

Now, if you're looking for a silver lining, something *does* start to show up in the second week. From July 17th onwards, the swell size starts to climb. By Monday morning, July 20th, we're seeing 7ft from the north-northeast, and the combined energy is pumping hard at 626. That's a lot of water moving. But, and it's a big but, that northerly wind is still honking at 16 mph and it's still onshore. For a reef break that's exposed and wants that clean NNW swell, this is a total mess. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is too much, and by the 20th, with 7ft and a howling onshore, it's a pure expert's zone, and even then, it's just not going to be fun.

If you're a kitesurfer, this constant onshore wind and steadily building swell might actually look interesting. For a paddler, it's a hard pass. The spot is consistent, but when the conditions are all wrong, that doesn't matter. The water temp isn't flagged here, so I'll just say it's probably about average for the time of year.

Bottom line: save your energy. This is one of those blank runs that's normal for the area when the trade winds lock in and don't let up. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
