Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good, hard look at what El Comedor has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the outlook is a tough one. The wave energy is there at times, but the conditions never seem to line up right for a good paddle session. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality right through. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first sign of any real size shows up on Friday the 3rd of July, with a morning swell of 5ft out of the north. The energy is moderate, about 434, but the wind is a cross-onshore light breeze, and it’s just not clean. The report says poor surf conditions, so we’re sitting that one out. That sets the tone for the whole period. Through Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th, we see a consistent 4ft to 5ft northerly swell, but it's all onshore or cross-onshore with a moderate breeze. No good.
The pattern continues into the next week. From Monday the 6th of July right through to Sunday the 12th, the swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind is stubbornly onshore from the north or north-northwest. Energy dips quite low mid-week, down to 54 on Wednesday the 8th, before picking back up. It’s all poor surf conditions. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 11th where a long-period 12-second northwest swell rolls in, but it's tiny at 2ft and cross-onshore. Nothing to get excited about.
As we move into the second week, the swell builds again. From Monday the 13th of July through to Friday the 17th, we're looking at 5ft to 6ft of north-northeast swell. The energy climbs from moderate to strong, hitting 627 by Saturday the 18th with a 7ft swell. But the story remains the same: onshore wind, moderate breeze, and poor surf conditions. With that size and wind, this setup at El Comedor looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this 16-day window. The consistent onshore flow and choppy conditions ruin every pulse of swell. It’s one of those blank runs that can happen here. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change.
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.
