The Lowdown

Rusty here again, with the same local outlook for El Conquistador, this time in feet and miles.

Right, so for the next couple of weeks at El Conquistador, it’s a mixed bag. This is a beach and reef set-up that breaks really consistently, but we've got a slow spell to start with.

The best window is right at the beginning, on Wednesday the 2nd. We get a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The combined swell energy is moderate (276) and with glassy conditions in the afternoon, that’s the pick of the outlook. The waves won’t be huge, but clean conditions will make them fun. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so you might have to share.

Things go downhill on Thursday the 3rd, with surf dropping to around 2ft and just ordinary conditions. Friday the 4th is smaller still, with 1ft to 2ft and very weak energy (60 and 86). From Saturday the 5th, we hit a long flat spell. Saturday through the middle of the next week is mostly poor, with tiny, choppy, or non-existent waves. There’s a stretch of several days with basically nothing worth paddling for. Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and most of the following week are a blank run.

Another little window opens near Wednesday the 16th. The morning of the 16th has calm, glassy conditions with a 1ft, 15-second groundswell from the SSW (combined energy 79). The afternoon picks up a bit with a 2ft NW swell, 12-second period, clean conditions, and moderate energy (112). That’s a promising but long-range flicker. On the 17th, a 2ft WNW swell rolls in, but it’s marred by cross-onshore wind, so it’s a no-go.

Your best bet is that Wednesday the 2nd session. The later window around the 16th is a maybe, but a long way off.

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.
