The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu at El Comedor.
Straight up, the next week and a half is a tough slog. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality, with onshore winds and messy conditions dominating. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least that’s comfortable.
The first real chance of something decent doesn’t show up until Monday, September 14th. That morning, the wind drops to glassy, dead calm, with a small 4ft swell pushing in from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate (267), and it's a short-period 8-second swell, so it won’t have much push, but it’ll be clean. The afternoon cleans up even more with a glassy 2ft from the NNW and a 12-second period, which is a proper groundswell. That longer period will give it some shape, but it’s small. This is the best-looking window in the whole 16-day forecast.
Tuesday the 15th still has a glassy start, but the swell is tiny at 2ft, and the energy drops off (189). It’s surfable, but ordinary. After that, the wind turns back onshore and we’re back to the same old poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast period on September 25th.
Honestly, there’s no standout best day here. The closest we get is that Monday, September 14th. It’s the only time the wind goes completely glassy, and the swell, while small, has that long-period quality. The rest of the run is a bust. Crowds at El Comedor are often an issue, but with conditions this poor, it’ll be quiet.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday morning is your only real shot. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.

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.
