The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next couple of weeks. It’s a waiting game for most of it, and you’ll want to pick your moments carefully.

We’re kicking off with a flat, bumpy mess for the first several days. From Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th, it’s just onshore slop with cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell. The energy is low (315 kJ/m² is about the best it gets in that stretch, and it’s all junky windswell). You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.

The real tease is on Sunday the 13th. The morning is still a waste, but the afternoon looks like it might want to clean up. A light variable breeze and a little more energy (386 kJ/m²) might offer a glimmer of hope, but it’s marginal, the kind of thing you’d only paddle out for if you were desperate for any kind of slide.

Then, things get interesting. On Monday the 14th, we’ve got a proper change. A clean, glassy morning with the wind coming light off the land. That new groundswell out of the NNW is still small, only 2ft, but the period is a solid 13 seconds. This is that long-period energy that carries a bit more push. El Comedor is a shallow, expert-only reef, so even a small groundswell can produce some legit corners. The combined energy bumps to 266 kJ/m², which is moderate, but it’s the first real quality we’ve seen. This is your standout window in the near term. It’s not big, but it’s going to be clean and have some proper shape to it.

The bad news is that this clean spell is brief. The wind swings onshore again by Monday afternoon, and we slide back into poor conditions. The energy starts to fade after that, and the swell backs off into the tiny stuff through the following week. From the 15th on, it’s small, weak, and wonky.

Looking further out, there's another kick on the 21st and 22nd, but the wind is all over it. Onshore conditions and short-period junk mean it's going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth your time.

So, here’s the call: If you’re an expert looking for a clean, hollow slab, Monday morning the 14th is your window. It’s the only time in the near future where the conditions and the swell actually line up. It’s small, so don’t expect a big day, but the quality will be there. For everyone else, it’s a long, flat, bumpy stretch ahead. You might get a tiny window on the 13th afternoon, but it’s a gamble. This is one of those times to get your gear fixed and wait for a better forecast.

The water is 75°, which is about average for this time of year, so it’s warm enough.

We do get some more swell energy around the 19th-20th, but the wind will be blowing straight onshore and it looks much more like a kitesurfing day than a surfing one at El Comedor.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on that morning glass-off forecast. For now, this is a “quality over quantity” game.

Rusty, out.

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.
