The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Look, I’ve got to be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is a write-off for El Comedor. We’ve got a bit of swell coming through, but the wind just won’t play ball. It’s a consistent, exposed reef that wants a nice offshore from the NNW to really shine, but instead we’re copping a persistent onshore hammering from the NNE. That’s a brutal mismatch.

The first few days, from Friday 24 July to the end of the month, are the most energetic. The combined swell energy hits moderate to strong levels (575 to 640 in the middle of that window), with wave heights sitting around 7 ft to 8 ft. But the wind is a fresh 19 mph NNE blowing straight onshore. That’s a recipe for lumpy, chopped-out junk. The period is short at 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape to the lines. It’s just a messy, blown-out mess for experts only—beginners should stay well away.

It winds down a bit into early August. By Saturday 1 August, the swell drops to 2 ft, and though the wind lightens up to a light breeze, the energy is weak (134). Same story through Sunday 2 August, with a tiny 1 ft to 2 ft NW swell, but the period briefly hits 11 seconds. That would be a nice groundswell, but there’s almost no height to work with, so it’s a non-event.

The one faint glimmer comes on Monday 3 August. The morning shows a NNW swell of 4 ft with a 10-second period, combined energy of 302—that’s moderate. The wind is a light 6 mph from the north, blowing offshore. That’s a clean setup for a short window. But the forecast only gives it a marginal rating, likely due to tide or timing issues. It’s not enough to call a standout, but it’s the only moment where you could paddle out and not feel like you’re fighting a lost cause.

After that, we’re back to onshore or cross-onshore winds and a slow fade through the second week, with heights between 4 ft and 6 ft, but the wind keeps it choppy. There’s nothing worth chasing.

For a reef that needs a NNW offshore to work, this NNE wind pattern is a total killer. If you were hoping for a kite session, the onshore wind and consistent swell might actually be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run. It’s the kind of stretch where you put the board away and wait for a pattern change.

Stay patient. 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.
