Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for El Conquistador over the next couple of weeks.
Gonna be honest with you, it’s a slow start. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are pretty flat and weak, with tiny, weak 1.0ft swell and hardly any energy behind it (46 and 32). The water’s sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The whole first week is a bit of a grind – Tuesday the 7th through Thursday the 10th are all small, poor surf with combined energy readings mostly under 100. You’ll see a few glassy moments, like Sunday afternoon and Thursday morning, which will make it look pretty, but the waves just aren’t there. There’s a gap of about six days where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, the real standout kicks in on Saturday the 11th of July. That morning, the swell jumps to 2ft with a very long period of 20 seconds, and the combined energy hits 378 – that’s moderate energy, and it’s the most juice we see in the whole run. It’s glassy with an easterly wind, so conditions will be clean. That long period groundswell from the SSW will wrap in nicely at this beach and reef set-up, offering better-shaped waves. The strong, long period will mean longer waits between sets, but the waves will have real push. This is your best bet, but keep in mind the 2ft height is still pretty small.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th keep the run going with similar 2ft to 3ft swell and energy in the 200-300 range, with clean, cross-off winds. It’s not huge, but it’s the best consistency and quality we get. By Tuesday the 14th afternoon, it starts to fade again, dropping back into the ordinary stuff through the rest of the second week. The swell flirts with 1ft on Friday the 17th but the energy is flat, so don’t get your hopes up.
If you’re looking for the one day to make it happen, it’s Saturday the 11th of July, early. That glassy, long-period groundswell is the closest thing we’ve got to a proper session. Just don’t expect much else.
Rusty.

Information about the El Conquistador Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Conquistador provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Conquistador can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Conquistador 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 Conquistador) 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 Conquistador 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.
