The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at El Conquistador over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s gonna be a lean run. For the first week, from Saturday the 25th of July all the way through to Friday the 31st, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Tiny dribbles of swell, mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft, with combined energy readings barely cracking 20 – basically flat. The wind is light and often cross-off or even glassy, which is nice, but there’s simply no wave to ride. It’s a waiting game.
We finally see a pulse of proper energy arrive on Sunday morning, August 2nd. The combined energy jumps to 109 (moderate), with a 1ft SSW swell at a long 13 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and it’ll be clean with glassy conditions. Still, the size is tiny, and by the afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore at 9 mph, chopping it up. The best of the whole outlook is likely the window from Monday afternoon, August 3rd, through Tuesday, August 4th. On Monday afternoon we get a 2ft S swell at 12 seconds with clean conditions and a light cross-off breeze. Tuesday morning is even better: glassy conditions, a 1ft SSW swell at 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 80. It’s not big, but it’s rideable and clean.
After that, the swell fades back into the 1.0ft to 1ft range with weak energy (under 70) for the rest of the outlook. The last few days, from Saturday the 8th through Sunday the 9th, offer some glassy moments with 1.0ft to 1ft SSW swell at 12 seconds, but it’s still very small.
The standout for the whole period is Tuesday morning, August 4th. That 1ft SSW swell (12s) with glassy, offshore wind and clean conditions at El Conquistador is our best bet. It’s a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and though it’s tiny, it’ll be the most fun you’ll have in this stretch. The water temperature is 73°, which is about average for the time of year.
Honestly, it’s a tough forecast. The swell is small and the energy is low, but with that glassy wind and the right direction, there’ll be a few little nuggets if you’re patient. For the bigger gear, you might be better off looking elsewhere.
Rusty.

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.
