The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk El Comedor. This is a reef wave for experts only, and there’s no sugar-coating it – the next 16 days are a total dud. The wind is stuck onshore or cross-onshore from the north and north-northeast, and the swell is coming from the north-northeast, which is exactly where this break likes it, but the wind just ruins everything.
Starting Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell is a weak 4 ft with a 6-second period, combined energy sitting at 140 (weak energy), and the wind is blowing straight onshore. Nothing to ride. Monday the 3rd shows a 5 ft swell in the morning with combined energy up to 280 (moderate energy), but again, onshore wind and a 7-second period – it’s all chop and no shape. That morning slot gets called “marginal,” which is the best you’ll see, and it’s still not worth paddling out.
The days drag on with zero surf scores across the board. By Wednesday the 13th and Thursday the 14th of August, the swell pushes 6 ft to 7 ft, combined energy hits the 400s, but the wind is honking at 15–16 mph from the north-northeast, onshore or cross-onshore. It’s just messy and dangerous for anyone except maybe a kiter.
There’s no glassy morning, no offshore wind, no clean window. This is a long stretch of poor conditions. For a surfer, it’s a pass. The waves are blown out and ugly. That’s the honest truth.
Rusty.

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.
