The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Look, I’ve got to be honest with you – the next 16 days for this stretch are a tough watch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of nothing but “poor surf conditions” across the board, with only one tiny flicker of life way down the line. The first real surf on offer is a no-show, and it stays that way for nearly two weeks.

The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74°, but that’s about the only good news.

El Comedor (reef) is the only break in the game, and it’s an expert-only spot. The whole period starts with a whimper. From Tuesday, July 28 right through to the morning of Monday, August 4, it’s a complete bust. The wind is howling from the NNE, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, creating chop and mess. The swell is there – around 4 ft to 6 ft, coming from the NNE – but the quality is terrible. The combined energy sits around 185 to 321 (moderate), but with a short period of just 6 to 8 seconds, it’s weak and messy. Not worth paddling out.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday afternoon, August 4, through to Tuesday, August 12, it’s still all “poor surf conditions.” The swell actually builds. On Wednesday, August 5, we see 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the NNE, with combined energy climbing to 370 then 518 (that’s strong wave energy). By Thursday, August 6, it’s holding at 7 ft with energy near 541. But the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is still short at 8 to 9 seconds. The wave comment is still “poor.” For an expert reef break, this just isn’t coming together. The chop will ruin the shape.

The only glimmer in this whole outlook shows up on the morning of Wednesday, August 12. Swell is still 6 ft from the NNE, period a short 7 seconds, and energy at 308 (moderate). But look at the wind: it finally shifts to a light NNW breeze, blowing straight offshore. That’s the cleanest it’s going to get. The water temp anomaly is missing, but the rest of the data says it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call. Honestly, it’s a marginal one at best, and you’d be a brave soul to bet on it.

Forget the rest of the afternoons and the days that follow – it’s all onshore wind and poor quality. If you’re a kite surfer, this constant onshore flow and consistent chop might look fun, but for a paddle surfer, this is a two-week-long rest period.

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.
