The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range picture around El Comedor is pretty bleak for a while. We’re looking at a stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds for days, with a lot of short-period, wind-blown chop. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about for a solid week or more. If you’re desperate, there’s a tiny window of clean conditions next Monday, but it’s small and weak. Let’s walk through it.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, September 14th. After the weekend’s poor conditions, things finally clean up. The wind drops right out, going glassy in the morning with a light offshore in the afternoon. We’ve got a long-period groundswell rolling in from the NNW—12 to 13 seconds—but it’s small, only 2ft to 2ft. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 267 for the morning and 256 in the afternoon. It’s not going to be big, but for a reef setup like El Comedor, this could be a clean, lined-up day. This is the standout of the whole 16-day window, but it’s a small wave day, perfect for a longboard or a funboard. Expect the crowd to be out, though, as it’s often busy here when it’s clean. This is an expert reef, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
After that Monday, it’s back to the grind. Tuesday sees the swell dropping back to short-period junk, with the wind turning onshore again and the size dropping off. The rest of that week is a write-off, with onshore winds and weak, messy surf. The energy levels are weak to moderate, but the quality is just poor.
The following week doesn’t offer much hope either. The conditions stay poor, with moderate onshore winds and short-period swell. There’s a slight bump in period around September 21st from the NNW, but it’s still cross-onshore and messy, and the heights are only around 3ft. It’s a lot of paddling for mediocre waves. The energy dips down to weak levels by the 24th, so the whole second week is just a waiting game.
So, the bottom line is: there's a long gap of poor surf until that one clean morning on the 14th. It’s not epic, but it’s the best we’ve got. After that, it goes quiet again. Keep your expectations low and your board ready for that Monday session.

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.
