The Lowdown

Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down what we've got coming.

Honestly, it's a rough run for the next couple of weeks. The surf quality is mostly poor, and the first day that's even worth a mention doesn't show up until Sunday, September 13th, and even then it's only just barely rideable.

For the first week and a half, we've got onshore winds from the N and NNE hammering the coast. The swell hangs around 5 to 6 ft, but the period is short – between 6 and 8 seconds – so it's all chop and no shape. The wave energy is moderate (232 to 478), but with the wind ruining the surface, it's just messy.

The water temp is about 76°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's about the only positive.

The only break in the mix is El Comedor, a reef setup that really wants a NNW swell. Problem is, the wind is from the N and NNE almost the entire time – right onshore or cross-on – which is the worst direction for this spot. It's an expert-only wave and it's consistent, but with this wind, it's just not going to work.

The first tiny window is the morning of Sunday, September 13th. Swell drops to 4 ft from the N, with a 7-second period. The wind goes light from the NE, still cross-on, but at least it's not howling. The energy is weak (206). The report calls it "marginal," which is the best we get. If you're desperate and you're an expert, that morning might give you a couple.

Monday the 14th morning has light onshore winds and a 4 ft NE swell with a slightly longer 8-second period. Energy picks up a bit (337), but it's still poor.

The following weekend – Saturday the 19th – the swell drops to 4 ft with light onshore winds from the NNW in the morning. Energy is weak (323).

Then on Monday, September 21st, we get a glimmer. The swell swings around to the NNW – the sweet spot for El Comedor – and the period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The height is only 3 ft, but the energy is moderate (335). The wind is a light cross-on from the NE, so it's not glassy, but with that longer period and the right direction, you could find a clean little wave if you're patient. This is the most promising day of the whole outlook, but it's a long way off, so don't bank on it just yet.

Overall, it's a tough stretch. The swell is there, but the wind and short periods are killing it. If you're an expert with time to kill, the morning of the 13th might give you a brief window, and the 21st of September has the best potential if things line up. Otherwise, save your energy.

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.
