The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
The first real surf window doesn’t open until the 15th of August. Before that, it’s a long dry spell. From the 1st up to the 14th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with a score of 0. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small and short-period, and the energy is weak. Nothing to get excited about.
The standout is the afternoon of the 15th of August at El Comedor, a reef break. The swell hits about 8ft from the NNE with a 9-second period, packing a very strong combined wave energy of 1381. The wind is from the N at about 12 mph, which is onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s a solid groundswell. The water temp is around 74°F, which is about average for this time of year.
With swell heights over 8ft on the 14th and 15th, this is strictly for experts. Beginners, stay on the beach. The period is under 10 seconds, so it’s not super long, but it’s enough to push some heavy, powerful waves across the reef. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
The 16th of August still has some size, around 7ft to 8ft, with moderate energy, but the wind stays onshore. The best bet is that Saturday afternoon on the 15th. That’s the one to aim for if you’re after some real grunt.
Rusty, out.

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.
