Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for El Comedor.

Straight up, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothin’ worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly on it or cross-onshore, and the energy is weak. For the first five days, from Friday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 15th, the swell barely scrapes 3 ft, with periods as short as 5 seconds—that’s pure wind chop, no push. The combined energy sits below 100 (62 to 88), which is barely a ripple. Don’t even think about it.

Wednesday the 16th sees a bit of a lift, with swell nudging up to 6 ft and a period of 6-7 seconds, but the wind is still a cross-onshore mess. The energy climbs into the moderate range (237 to 270), but the quality is still labeled poor. Not worth the drive.

The real tease comes on Sunday the 20th. Swell pumps up to 10 ft from the NNE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore and light. The combined energy is massive (1534). It sounds like a dream—but the report says it’s too big for this break. That’s a heavy-duty expert-only wave, and even then, it might be a washing machine. If you’re a seasoned charger, keep an eye on that Monday morning session, but it’s a gamble.

After that, the swell drops back through the 7 ft range and then into the 4 ft range by the end of the week, with moderate onshore winds again. Nothing to get excited about.

Bottom line: there is no standout window for El Comedor in this 16-day outlook. The one potential highlight on the 20th is too big for the spot, and everything else is small, short-period, and wind-affected. If you’re desperate, the 23rd morning might offer a tiny clean window with 4 ft ENE swell and light offshore wind, but it’s a grab-bag with low energy.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t force it.

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.
