The Lowdown
Alright, let’s do that again for the imperial crowd.
We’re dialed into El Comedor, a heavy expert reef break. The first few days are a total loss. From Wednesday the 9th through the weekend, it’s all onshore wind from the NNE and N, with swell around 4 to 6 feet but all messy. The wind is just ruining it, with that moderate breeze making for cross-onshore slop and choppy surfaces. Don’t even bother.
Then the picture changes. On Monday the 14th, the wind dies completely, going glassy with just a slight air. The swell swings to a clean NNW direction and gets some serious quality. It’s only 2 feet, but the period is a very long 13 seconds. That’s genuine groundswell energy (combined energy of 271), and for a reef like El Comedor, that long period will wrap in and give you some lined-up, hollow waves. That’s your standout window. Keep in mind, this is a consistent, exposed spot that’s often crowded, so expect a pack and bring your A-game.
From Tuesday the 15th right through the rest of the 16-day forecast, it’s back to onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. Heights drop to 1 to 2 feet with mostly poor energy readings (under 200). The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, so we’re looking at day after day of unridable conditions. It’s a long, dead stretch from mid-September to the end.
To wrap it up: the only real shot is Monday the 14th. Get in early, when it’s glassy with that long-period NNW groundswell. That’s the peak. After that, you’re waiting for the next storm to make something happen. Later forecasts might change, but for now, it’s a one-day wonder.

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.
