The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next few weeks at El Comedor. Straight up, it’s a grim outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with zero standout sessions. The swell direction is close to the optimum from the NNW, but the wind is just relentless. From the 13th of July through to the 28th, we’ve got a solid two-week block of onshore and cross-onshore breezes, mostly from the N and NNE, that are going to trash the surface. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is basically average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real shot at any decent energy comes on the 23rd of July, where the swell builds to 8ft and the combined energy kicks up to 644 (moderate wave energy). But here’s the kicker – the wind is still onshore from the N at 9 to 12 mph. That’s going to make it a messy, choppy affair. This is an expert-only, consistent reef break, so even with a bit of size, the onshore wind will ruin the shape. If you’re a kite surfer, this might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
The only flicker of hope comes on the 26th of July, with a 7ft NNE swell and a combined energy of 615 (moderate wave energy). The rating is still a 1 out of 10, with “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions” noted. The wind is onshore from the N at 9 mph. It’s still not good. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, wind-affected chop.
There are no standouts in this 16-day window. The whole forecast is a washout. Come back later, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
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.
