The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we're looking at. The first half of this forecast is, frankly, a bust. All wind and blown-out surf. But there is one day, one beautiful, glassy window, that makes it all worth waiting for.
We're talking about El Comedor, a proper expert reef. From Thursday the 10th through the weekend, forget it. The wind is honking from the north, onshore and messy, with combined energies ranging from 227 to 435. It's just choppy and poor. You'd be wasting your time.
Then comes Monday the 14th. Morning brings a light, glassy air from the SSE. Swell is 1.2m from the NNE, a clean 8-second period, with moderate energy at 265. This is the standout. Clean, groomed, and with the offshore wind, this reef will be holding its shape perfectly. And then the afternoon looks even better. The swell drops to 0.6m, but the period jumps to a ridiculous 12 seconds from the NNW (242 energy). That is long-period groundswell, and it will be peeling down that reef with serious push. A magic few hours.
But that's it. From Tuesday the 15th, the wind goes cross-onshore, the waves get junky, and the window slams shut. The energy drops, the periods get jumbled, and it's back to "poor surf conditions." There's a blip on the 22nd with a long 14-second period swell, but it's buried under a 20 km/h onshore wind, so it's pointless.
In short, there's one true session in this whole 16-day stretch. That Monday. Mark it on the calendar, plan your day around it, and go get some. Otherwise, the ocean is just giving us a whole lot of nothing. Water temp is right around 75°, which is about average for this time of year.
Rusty, out.

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.
