Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, for the first ten days, it’s pretty much a no-go. The surf is just not cooperating. From Thursday the 9th right through to the end of the week on the 19th, conditions are poor. The wind is blowing straight onshore from the north or north-northeast, and the waves are just junky, short-period windswell. It’s a long stretch of flat, messy, and unrideable conditions.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel, and I mean the *only* one, starts to show up on Sunday the 19th of July. We’ve got a bit of a pulse arriving at El Comedor – a reef break that’s strictly for experts. This is an exposed spot that needs swell from the NNW to really fire.
On Sunday morning, the swell builds to 8 ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is still onshore from the north at 9 mph, but the energy is finally there, reading 712 (moderate to strong). The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” scoring a 1 out of 10, so it’s not clean, but it’s the only window showing any life. The swell sticks around into Monday the 20th, dropping to 6 ft with lighter winds from the north at 6 mph, and the energy is at 424. It’s still onshore, but the lighter breeze might make it a tiny bit less ugly.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 19th. That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but it’s a long way out and the confidence is low. The wind is onshore, so it’s going to be a bumpy, challenging session for experts only. For everyone else, this is a two-week gap with nothing to get excited about. The energy is there, but the quality is not.
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.
