The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let’s be real from the start. El Comedor is a reef break that’s a total no-go for the next 16 days. The whole forecast is a bust. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period, mostly 7-8 seconds, giving you no shape. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting between 444 and 774, but with that wind, it’s just raw, ugly energy.
The water temp is 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
We start on Tuesday, July 21st, with a 7ft NNE swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is onshore at 16 mph. It’s poor. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are the same: 6ft to 6ft, short period, onshore. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th bump up to 7ft and 8ft, but the wind is still onshore and strong. That’s a lot of size you can’t enjoy.
Sunday the 26th through the end of July is a broken record – 5ft to 8ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore, creating chop. It’s ugly. Into the first week of August, the swell drops hard. By August 4th, we’re down to 2ft, with energy at a pathetic 47. The last few days, August 5th, are flat at 3ft at 5 seconds. There’s no standout session in this whole window. The wind is never right, and the swell is too short and messy.
If you’re thinking about a paddle, forget it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Honestly, this is a blank run that’s normal for this area when the wind doesn’t play ball. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d leave the boards at home.
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.
