The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in, and I’ve got the scoop on El Comedor for the next little while. Let's get into it.
Right off the bat, the first half of this outlook is a write-off for a decent paddle. For nearly all of the first week, from Thursday the 10th of September through to the 13th, we’ve got onshore winds, mostly from the north, and wave heights climbing from 4 ft up to 6 ft. But the wind is just trashing it. The combined swell energy is building – hitting a moderate 461 (moderate wave energy) on the Saturday morning – but with that northerly wind blowing straight on, it’s gonna be a mess. This is an expert reef break, and even for those guys, those conditions will feel like a fight, not a wave. Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that bleak run, we finally get a glimpse of hope on Monday the 14th. The morning is the real standout here. The wind goes glassy – completely off from the WSW at only 3 mph. That’s the clean window. Swell is down to a clean 4 ft from the NNE with a moderate energy of 266. The water temp is sitting at 75°, right around normal for this time of year (anomaly of 1°). This is the cleanest the break will be, and it’s the only time you’ll get a truly clean face. But, it comes with a caveat: this spot is consistent, but is also often crowded, so get in early for that glass-off. That Monday afternoon fades quickly, dropping to a tiny 2 ft on a long 12-second period from the NNW, which is better suited to a point break or reef – but the size is marginal.
From Tuesday the 15th, we slide back into mediocrity. The swell stays tiny, under 3 ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds from the north and northeast. There’s a bit of a pulse of long-period energy on Tuesday the 22nd of September, with a 13-second period from the NNW pushing a 310 combined energy, but the wind’s cross-onshore and the swell height is only 2 ft. Not enough to get excited about. The rest of the second week is the same story: small, onshore, and not worth the paddle. The final week shows a lot of poor surf conditions and cross-onshore chop. It’s a long, flat finish.
So, if you must, the only window is the glassy Monday morning, the 14th. Otherwise, this stretch looks more like a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a bleak run.

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.
