The Lowdown

Rusty here. Let me be straight with you, looking at El Comedor for the next sixteen days — it’s a pretty grim run. This expert reef break is set up to catch swell from the NNW, but the wind is locked in from the NNE and N almost the entire time, blowing onshore or cross-onshore. That’s a killer for a spot like this. We’ve got a solid stretch of nothing from now, basically from Friday 21 August right through to the end of the month, and beyond. There’s a gap of about nine days where I wouldn’t bother paddling out.

The first bit of hope, if you can call it that, shows up on Monday 24 August. The morning sees the swell jumping to 6 ft from the NNW with a period up to 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, bringing some real energy (combined energy 793). But the wind is still onshore from the north at 6 mph, so it’s marginal at best. That afternoon the wind picks up again, so no good.

The only other time things look even worth a glance is around Saturday 29 August, but it’s a tough scene. The swell builds to 8 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 954 – that’s strong wave energy. But the wind is still cross-onshore from the NNE at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. For a crew of experts only at that size, it’s a real battle zone, not a fun session.

Honestly, there’s no standout session in this whole 16-day window. The wind is the enemy here, and it doesn’t let up. If you’re desperate, watch Monday 24 August morning for a fleeting window, but don’t hold your breath. This one’s a write-off.

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.

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.
