Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over this 16-day stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a rough run for waves. From July 4th all the way through to July 19th, the forecast at El Comedor is just not giving us anything worth paddling out for. Every single session during this entire period shows "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero out of ten. That’s a solid 16-day stand-down. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem day – it’s a total blank run.
Now, for a reef break that's exposed and picks up swell from the NNW, this is a long quiet stretch. The swell wobbles around, starting out with 5 ft Monday morning on the 4th from the north at 10 seconds (moderate wave energy of 398), but the wind is cross-on shore, ruining any chance of clean shape. It stays like that – cross-on or onshore winds from the north or north-northeast, often gusty, just making a mess. The swell height hits 5 ft to 6 ft toward the second week – July 14 Tuesday morning shows 5 ft from the north at 9 seconds (energy of 405, moderate), and July 18 Saturday morning shows 6 ft from the north-northeast at 7 seconds (energy 302, moderate). But again, the wind is onshore or cross-on, so it’s choppy, messy, and not worth it. The water temp? Not specified here in the details but feels like it would be about average for early July.
Even for experienced surfers, a spot like El Comedor that’s consistent and exposed just isn’t delivering. When the wind is up from the north and the swell is short-period like those 5 to 8 second intervals, it’s just wind slop. The swell gets a little bigger in the second week, over 5 ft, which would normally push it out of beginner territory, but with dirty wind, it’s still poor. Honestly, with the sustained onshore winds and choppy conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of it.
So, bottom line: there’s no real surf on offer here. Nothing to get excited about. Hang loose and wait for the next weather pattern to shift things around.
Rusty.

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.
