Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming down the pipe.
To be dead honest, the first week is a total no-go. We've got a stiff northerly breeze hammering the coast and the swell is weak, short-period junk. From Wednesday the 8th right through that first weekend, it's just onshore slop. Don't even bother waxing up.
Things start to get a bit more interesting come the second week. We see some better energy pushing in from the NNW around Sunday the 12th, with combined energy hitting 226, but that wind is still stuck in the north, ruining the surface. The real story is a building trend.
The only game in town is El Comedor, a reef break that lights up with a NNW swell. Come the third week, around Friday the 17th of July, we get some serious grunt. The swell is solid from the NNE, with wave energy shooting up to 302 and then 430 by Saturday the 18th. By Sunday the 19th, we're looking at a real beast with 2.2m waves and energy of 623. The period hangs around 8 to 9 seconds.
Here's the rub, though. That's expert-level size, but the wind stays onshore from the north and northeast, making it choppy. The water temp is about 72°F, which is pretty standard for the season. For a reef, that onshore wind is a shame because it'll be bumpy and wild. For the first ten days, you're better off finding a park. For the brave, the third week has the power, but it's going to be a messy, challenging session for experts only.

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.
