The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Comedor.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The forecast shows a pretty grim run of surf for the next week and a half. The swell energy is there, but the wind is just wrecking it. We’re looking at a solid week of poor surf conditions, with the wind mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 76°F.
For the first few days, forget it. Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 27th we’ve got small, messy waves with barely any energy. The combined energy is weak, sitting around 43 to 66 in the afternoons. It’s not worth paddling out for.
Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st sees a bit more size, with swell heights climbing to 6ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. The energy picks up a bit, hitting 275, but it’s not clean. It’s a frustrating pattern.
Now, there is a glimmer. Things start to look a little more interesting around Thursday the 4th of September. We’ve got a marginal call that morning with a 7ft NNE swell and a gentle cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a solid 597, which is moderate to strong. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the closest thing to a surfable window in this whole run. The wind is lighter, and the swell has some push.
The best on offer, though, is later on. Around Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell direction swings to the NNW with a very long period of 14 to 12 seconds. On Tuesday morning we’ve got 3ft of clean, long-period groundswell with a light north wind, giving us glassy conditions. The energy is still strong at 600. This is a point-break or reef setup kind of swell – it’ll be clean and lined up, but at a beach break it might break too straight. For a spot like El Comedor, a reef, this could be the standout session if you time it right. The crowd is likely to be there, though.
Basically, don’t waste your time for the first week. The second week offers a couple of promising, but less certain, windows. Mark your calendar for the 4th or the 7th-8th of September.
Rusty.

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.
