The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at the charts for El Comedor. Gotta be honest, it's a real slow period ahead. This is an expert-only reef break, and the water temp is about 73°F right now, which is dead average for the year.
We're staring down a tough start. From Wednesday, July 22nd, through the end of the month, the wind is gonna be howlin' from the NNE, a solid 15 to 20 mph, right onshore or cross-onshore. We'll see some swell, from 5 to 8 ft, but it's short period windswell, 5 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is moderate to strong, but with that wind it'll be a choppy, blown-out mess. The forecast is saying "poor surf conditions" the whole way. This is not the time to be paddling out here.
Fast forward a full week of that junk. Then, there's a little one on Saturday, August 1st, in the morning. The wind finally drops to a light breeze from the N at about 6 mph. The swell is down to 5 ft with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak. The call is "marginal forecast." It's not ideal, but it's the first time in two weeks the wind isn't ruining the surface.
After that brief glimmer, it's more of the same. Onshore winds return, the swell drops off a cliff to 3 to 4 ft, and the periods stay short. The energy levels go from weak to very weak. The "poor surf conditions" label comes right back.
Honestly, there's no single standout session in this whole 16-day outlook. It's a long, flat, windy stretch. The only reason to even check the water is that Saturday morning, August 1st, if that light wind holds. It's a slim chance. Keep your board in the car, but don't drive too far.
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.
