The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. El Comedor is the only break on the radar for the whole 16-day window, and honestly, it’s not surfable. The forecast is a long, flat run of poor surf conditions with nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid gap from the start on Wednesday, July 15th, all the way through to the end of the month – not a single decent wave to ride.

The first few days are tiny and weak. Wednesday morning, July 15th, we got a pathetic 2 ft swell from the north with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wave energy is a low 59 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is a cross-onshore from the northeast at 9 mph, just making it choppy and messy. It’s the same story through the afternoon, and the rest of the week.

Things pick up a bit in size but not quality. By Friday, July 17th, the swell climbs to 5 ft from the north-northeast, and the energy ticks up to 193 (moderate), but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are described as poor. The period stays short, around 6 to 7 seconds, so you’re looking at weak, bumpy, wind-affected lumps. Not worth paddling for.

The swell keeps building, hitting 8 ft by Thursday, July 23rd, with energy jumping to 748 (strong wave energy). But again, the wind is moderate onshore, and the break is a reef setup that’s exposed to the north-northwest. The swell direction is north-northeast, which is not the optimum for the break (they want NNW). So you’ve got a big, messy, wind-blown sea that’s only for experienced surfers, and even then, the quality is shot.

The second week is more of the same. Swell holds around 5 ft to 7 ft, with periods creeping up to 8 seconds, but the wind stays onshore from the north or north-northeast. The energy is moderate to strong, but the “poor surf conditions” label sticks like glue. By Wednesday, July 29th, we’re back to choppy, cross-onshore junk.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. This reef is a consistent spot, but it’s an expert-only wave, and with this onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine. If you’re a kitesurfer, this setup might be interesting with that strong onshore wind and decent swell, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total write-off.

Best on offer? There isn’t one. Not a single standout in the whole 16 days. The forecast can always change, but right now, this is a blank run. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.

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.
