The Lowdown

Alright, let’s run through what El Comedor is looking like for the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough stretch. There’s swell coming through at times, but the wind is a real pain, and the quality just isn’t there for paddle surfing the way we like it.

We start on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a good-looking 7ft from the NNE, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 16 mph, and the period is a short 8 seconds. The water temp is about normal for the season. It’s messy, choppy, and not worth suiting up. That same onshore flow sticks around through Thursday and Friday, with the swell dropping to about 5ft and then 3ft, still blown out. By Saturday the 5th, we’re down to 4ft from the north with a period of just 6 seconds—weak, onshore, and nothing to write home about.

The wind stays onshore into the next week, too. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th see the swell pick back up to about 6ft to 6ft from the NNE, with moderate wave energy (readings of 470 to 510), but the cross-onshore wind at 9 to 16 mph chops it all up. This is the kind of setup where the kites and the foilers might have a good time, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a battle.

Around Saturday the 12th, the swell drops to just 2ft from the north, but look, the period stretches out to 13 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, but with almost no height. For a reef like El Comedor, those long lines could offer something if the wind was clean, but it’s still blowing onshore at 9 to 12 mph. Not happening.

Now, the one moment that stands out—and I mean the only real moment—is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning session shows 6ft from the NNE with an 8-second period and moderate energy at 516. The wind is onshore but light at 9 mph. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best of the entire 16-day window. The swell direction is a perfect match for the NNW optimum for this reef. This is an expert spot, and with that size, it’ll be a proper challenge. The afternoon turns onshore again, so that Tuesday morning window is your one shot.

After that, the swell fades and the onshore wind returns for the 16th and 17th. A long, quiet spell to end the outlook.

So, if you know the reef and you’re ready for a grunty session, make a note for the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. That’s the best we’ve got. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, that’s the word.

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.
