The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, it’s been a rough stretch and we’re looking at a long, quiet run ahead. The first few days through the end of July and into the start of August are pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the swell is weak and short-period. You’ll see a few small bumps around 4ft to 6ft from the NNE, but the period is only 6 to 8 seconds and the combined energy is weak to moderate. The water is about average for this time of year. It’s just not doing anything—poor surf conditions across the board.
There’s a gap of several days here with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the 5th of August. That Wednesday morning, we see a jump: 6ft from the NNE, period up to 7 seconds, and the combined energy gets into the moderate range. The wind is light from the NNE, which is offshore for El Comedor (a reef break, expert only). That’s about as good as it gets in this forecast. The swell is still a bit short-period, but it’s the most promising window.
The best on offer is the morning of Tuesday, August 5th through to the morning of Friday, August 8th. Swell holds around 5ft to 6ft, period sits at 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly light offshore from the north. The combined energy stays in the moderate range. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s clean and rideable. Later on, around the 10th and 11th of August, the swell pushes up to 7ft to 8ft, but the period is still short at 7 to 8 seconds and the wind is onshore or cross-on. The energy is high, but it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess for experts only. Not a standout.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in the mornings from the 5th to the 8th of August at El Comedor. Swell around 6ft from the NNE, light offshore wind, clean. That’s your window.
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.
