Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’m talking about El Comedor.
First off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next few days are a total write-off. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is howling straight onshore out of the north. The water is about 72°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there. The surf is just plain poor.
We’re looking at a real dry spell. From Wednesday the 8th right through the weekend, it’s small, weak, and blown out. There’s a little bump in energy on the 12th, but it’s still cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s not cleaning up. The swell stays small, and the wind is just ruining it.
The first real standout doesn’t hit until the 16th of July. That’s when we finally get some size. The swell jumps to about 7ft from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wave energy is strong, hitting 431 (combined energy of all swells directed here). But here’s the problem: the wind is still onshore from the north at 25 km/h (16 mph). For a reef break like El Comedor, that’s a mess. That size is for experts only, and with the wind on it, it’s gonna be a bumpy, ugly session. Honestly, it looks more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day.
The 17th and 18th stay big, with swell heights around 7ft and wave energy in the 600s, but the wind stays onshore. That’s a lot of power with no clean face. The swell direction is from the NNE, which is off the break’s ideal NNW, so it’s not working as well as it could.
After that, the swell fades from the 19th through the 20th and into the next week. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a long, flat, or poor run. There’s nothing in the whole 16-day window that I’d call a good session.
Tough forecast, folks. The reef is there, but the wind and swell just aren’t lining up. Keep an eye on things, but for now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
