The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for El Comedor to start. The first week and a half is a write-off. Onshore winds from the NNE and N are just gonna ruin what’s otherwise a decent swell. The energy is there, with combined energy readings in the moderate range (472 to 735), but it means nothing when the wind is howling straight onshore from the 25th to the 29th of July. The swell is mostly 5 ft to 8 ft, which is expert territory at the top end, but it’s all slop and chop. Even the 5.6 ft days on the 30th and 31st of July are still cross-onshore and choppy. Honestly, for the first week, this is a kite setup, not a paddle one.

The real hope comes on Monday the 3rd of August. That morning, we get a tiny window of pure magic. Winds go glassy, the swell drops to 3 ft from the NNW, and the period jumps to 10 seconds. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell that will line up beautifully on this reef. The combined energy is a solid 352, so there’s some push. It’s a rare, quality moment for El Comedor, and it’s the standout – but you gotta be on it first thing. The afternoon looks more marginal as the wind switches onshore, though the swell bumps up to 3.6 ft from the N with a 12-second period, which is very long. That long period will make the waves taper and wall up better on the reef, but that onshore breeze will take the gloss off. Tuesday the 4th of August is a no-go, with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions.

Then, after a long dry spell, we get another chance on Saturday the 8th of August. Morning looks glassy again, with a solid 6.2 ft swell from the NNE at 8 seconds. That’s a bit of short-period wind swell, but combined energy of 451 means there’s grunt. The glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean and lined up, even if it’s a bit sectiony. For a spot that’s often crowded and only for experts, this is a proper dawny. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Bottom line: tough start, but the 3rd of August morning is the real standout, and the 8th of August is a solid backup. Don’t sleep on that glassy window.

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.

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.
