The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for El Comedor over this 16-day window. Straight up, we’re looking at a long, lean run. There’s nothing worth chasing for the first ten days or so, which is a massive gap. The swell is there at times, but the wind is blown out onshore from the north or north-northeast, just wrecking any chance of clean surf. Water temp is sitting at 75° and about average for this time of year, so not a factor.

Our first real glimmer of hope isn’t until the 25th of September. Friday morning looks like the standout. For a moment, everything lines up. It’s glassy – dead calm – with a clean 3 ft NW groundswell rolling in, period a nice 12 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 246, and the wind is essentially non-existent. That rare offshore breeze from the east-northeast means El Comedor could actually be working. This is a reef break, and with that long-period groundswell from the northwest, it’ll bend nicely around the reef point. It’s an expert wave here, and it *often* gets crowded, but on a quiet morning like that, you might score some good ones. This is the best on offer by a long shot.

Later that same day, the wind swings back onshore from the north-northwest and gets choppy, losing the plot. After that, it’s back to the same story: onshore winds and poor conditions with small swell until the 28th. On the 28th of September, Monday morning, the swell jumps again with a long-period 3 ft NW groundswell (14 seconds) and solid energy at 468, but the wind is light north and still onshore – so it’s messy. The 29th of September, Tuesday, sees a bit more size (4 ft NW) and a cross-onshore wind that keeps it in that marginal zone. Worth a look if you’re desperate, but nothing like that clean Friday morning.

So, the takeaway: wait for the 25th of September. That Friday dawn patrol is the one to circle. Everything else is a write-off or just average.

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.
