The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for our local stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The only spot with any real consistency on offer is El Comedor, an expert reef break that’s exposed to the NNW. Even then, it’s a tough watch. The water’s sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re getting worked.

The pattern is pretty bleak from the start. The first good look doesn’t come until Thursday the 29th of August morning. We see a long-period NNW groundswell pushing through at 5ft (11 seconds) with moderate wave energy (744). The wind is a cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph though, so it’s gonna be choppy. That long period is promising for a reef setup like this, but the wind just kills the quality.

Friday the 6th of September is probably the closest thing to a standout in this entire run, and even that’s a stretch. The wind eases back to a gentle breeze from the NW at 9 mph in the morning, with a small 4ft N swell. The combined energy is weak (166), but those lighter winds might just give you a few cleanish, small waves. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the least ugly day in a long ugly stretch.

For the rest of it, it’s a sorry tale of moderate to fresh onshore and cross-onshore winds, messy conditions, and poor surf. There’s a run from the 27th of August all the way through to the 4th of September where every session is a write-off. Swell heights pop up over 5ft a few times, but with the wind being junk, it’s just a washing machine. For the experts, when it gets over 8ft (around the 2nd of September morning), there’s a bit of power (463 energy), but with that onshore NNE breeze, it’s going to be a close-out mess. Frankly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.

In the second week, there’s a slight tease of lighter winds around the 10th and 11th of September, but the swell drops off to a weak 4ft. It’s small, clean-ish, but nothing to write home about.

Honestly, keep your expectations on the floor. It’s one of those bleak runs where if you absolutely have to get wet, pick the lightest wind window and take a log, but don’t expect much. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
