Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and honestly, a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long run of days where the conditions just aren't cooperating. Right now, and for much of the first week, we’ve got a consistent onshore wind from the north that’s making a mess of things. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which is about average for the time of year.
The only spot on the radar is El Comedor, an expert-only reef break that's consistent. But don't get your hopes up. From Sunday the 5th right through to about the 16th, the combination of those northerly winds and choppy, messy wave conditions means you’re better off doing something else. The swell energy is all over the place, from a paltry 73 on the 7th, climbing to a moderate 231 on the 5th (which is still useless with the wind), and peaking at 637 on the 20th, but it’s all blown out. There’s a long stretch where there’s just no recommendable surf.
Things start to look a bit more interesting towards the end of the window. On Friday the 17th, we get a decent push of 5ft swell from the NNE, but that pesky cross-onshore wind is still there, keeping the surface rough. The real tease comes on the weekend of the 18th and into the 19th and 20th. By Sunday the 19th, we’re looking at solid 7ft swell from the NNE with strong wave energy (505-583), and the wind is still onshore. It’s a powerful swell, but it’s straight onshore, which kills the quality. At that size – over 7ft – it’s expert territory only, and with the onshore wind, it’s going to be a real battle. The wave energy is high (into the 600s by the 20th), but the quality just isn’t there.
So, to wrap it up: there’s no standout session in this forecast. The best you can hope for is to take a look at El Comedor on the 19th or 20th if you’re a true expert and don't mind some ugly conditions, but don't expect any magic. For the rest of us, there’s a big gap of poor surf stretching from now until mid-July. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, we’re in for a wait.
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.
