Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break this down.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at El Comedor are a total washout. This is an expert reef break that’s usually consistent, but the forecast shows nothing but poor conditions. The whole window is a gap. No sessions worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so that’s not the issue.
Starting Sunday, July 5th, right through to the end, it’s all “poor surf conditions.” The wind is onshore from the N and NNE, blowing 9 to 16 mph, and it’s just ruining the surface. The swell is tiny, between 3 and 5 feet, with a short period of 5 to 9 seconds. That’s bumpy, weak windswell – not the kind of long-period groundswell this reef needs. The combined energy does bump up a bit mid-second week, hitting 241 on the 14th, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s a mess. There’s no standout day, no clean window. The whole thing is a dud.
If you’re into kite surfing, the stronger winds might make it interesting, but for a paddle surfer? Don’t bother. This is a tough stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. I’ll be watching it, but you’re better off staying dry.

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.
