The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next two weeks is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. We’ve only got one spot lighting up the forecasts, and honestly, it’s a real expert-only kind of deal.
Right now, the water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice for a dip, but the waves aren’t playing nice.
So, the only game in town is El Comedor, a reef setup that’s consistent and exposed to the north. The optimum swell direction is from the NNW. But here’s the bummer: from now until the morning of Thursday, the 3rd of September, every single session is rated as "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid week of nothing. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the swell energy is weak to moderate. The combined energy on the best days of that first week is only 737 on Saturday the 29th morning, dropping to 247 by Sunday afternoon. The swell is mostly short period, around 6-10 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch.
The first real glimmer of something isn’t until the morning of Thursday, the 3rd of September. The swell is pumping up to 8 ft from the NNE, with a combined energy of 677, but it’s still a marginal forecast with questionable tide conditions. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s going to be fairly choppy. This is expert territory only – 8 ft is solid, and the reef won’t forgive mistakes.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through the rest of the forecast. The swell sticks around 5 ft to 7 ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The wave energy is moderate, with combined energy readings between 209 and 639, but it’s all messy.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for the average surfer to get excited about. If you’re a hardcore expert, the morning of the 3rd of September at El Comedor is your best shot, but temper your expectations. For everyone else, this is a blank run. It’s one of those periods where forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
