The Lowdown
Rusty here, in feet and miles for you. Over the next 16 days at El Comedor (reef setup), it’s all poor surf conditions—no standout sessions. Every single entry in the forecast is marked as poor. The swell gets big later, but the wind and direction ruin it.
Starting Thursday, 30 July: 5ft swell from the NNE, period 7 seconds, cross-onshore wind at 12 mph. Choppy, weak energy (242). Water temp is 74°, about 2° warmer than usual—noticeable. Friday, 31 July, similar at 5–5ft with gentle cross-onshore breeze. Still ugly.
Saturday, 1 August, wind turns onshore from the NNW at 9 mph in the morning, swell 4ft, short period, weak (195). Afternoon gets windier at 16 mph. Not worth it. Sunday through Wednesday, 2–5 August, swell climbs to 5–6ft, but period stays short (6–7 seconds), wind onshore or cross-onshore. Energy hits 355 on Monday, but poor quality.
Thursday, 6 August, drops to 3–4ft. Friday, 7 August, down to 2–2ft from the N/NNW with a better period of 9 seconds, but wind on at 12 mph. No water temp anomaly data. Saturday and Sunday, 8–9 August, stay small or bumpy, still poor.
Then Tuesday, 11 August, the swell jumps hard: 8ft Tuesday morning, 8ft by afternoon, period 8 seconds, energy 691–939. Wednesday and Thursday, 12–13 August, hold 8–8ft from the NNE. That’s expert-only—over 8ft is big. But onshore wind at 12 mph and short period means a messy reef. Not clean. Friday, 14 August, backs to 5–6ft, still onshore.
Best on offer? Nothing. The 11–13 August period has size, but with onshore wind and short period, it’s for the brave only, not clean waves. For beginners, anything over 5ft and especially over 8ft is a no-go. The direction (NNE) doesn’t match the optimum (NNW), and with that wind, this reef looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
A blank run. Keep watching, but leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
