The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the waves at El Comedor.
El Comedor is a tough one for the next 16 days. It’s an expert-only reef break, and the first week and a half are a total loss. From Tuesday the 1st right through to Tuesday the 8th, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period windswell, peaking around 7 ft with periods of only 7 to 8 seconds. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal. The wave energy gets up to 590 on Wednesday the 2nd, but it’s just messy, choppy, and poor.
There’s a big gap of nothing until the morning of Sunday the 13th. That’s the only real standout. The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive. The swell is 7 ft from the NNE with an 8-second period, giving a combined energy of 485. It’s a solid, moderate energy swell, and with glassy conditions, that reef will be clean. But it’s an expert spot, and 7 ft on a reef can be heavy. Crowds are often here, so expect some company. After that, the rest of the window is blown out or tiny, with a long-period groundswell on the 15th and 16th (12 seconds) but it’s only 3 ft and 2 ft, and the wind is messy again.
So, the only real window is the morning of Sunday the 13th. It’s a short, glassy moment with decent, punchy swell. If you’re an expert, that’s your call. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for very little.

A general guide to surfing at El Comedor can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
