The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at what's cookin' in feet and degrees.
It's a grim outlook, folks. The only break in the mix is El Comedor, and the book on it says it's a gnarly, expert-only reef. That tells you everything about the quality of what's coming. The entire 16-day window is a bummer, with every single session marked as "poor surf conditions." You're looking at a solid week and a half of nothing good.
From Thursday, July 30th, right through the morning of Sunday, August 9th, it's a total loss. The swell is coming from the NNE, not the optimum direction for the spot, and it's short-period junk, around 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is the main problem, blowing cross-on or onshore at 6 to 16 mph, just chopping everything to bits. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, with numbers like 99 to 277, backing up the story of weak, unorganized waves. The wave heights are 3 to 5 feet, but with that wind, it's just a bumpy, washed-out mess. The water's about 74°F, which is pretty normal.
Then, starting Monday, August 10th, the swell starts to pump. The combined energy jumps into the strong range, hitting 725 to 761 by the 13th and 14th. Wave heights hit 6 to 8 feet, and the period stretches to 8 and 9 seconds, which is a step up. But the cruel twist is the wind is still onshore or cross-on from the north and NNE. For a reef, that's a deal-breaker. It's too big for beginners, and the wind is making it unsurfable for experts. This one looks like it's more for the kite boarders than the paddle crew.
Bottom line: There are no standouts. No clean, glassy moments. No swell direction that lines up. Just a long, frustrating forecast. The only tiny hope is the period getting longer at the very end, but that's a long way out. Things can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
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.
