Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for El Conquistador.
The first chunk of the forecast is dead flat. You won’t see anything worth paddling out for until Saturday the 11th of July.
The real window is Saturday the 11th through Monday the 13th of July. We get a clean little SSW swell pushing 2 feet, with a nice long period of 19 to 20 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and at El Conquistador – a beach and reef set-up – the long period can make things a little roly-poly, but with glassy or light offshore winds, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The combined energy hits up to 367, which is moderate but doing the job. Water temp’s about 73°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th morning is your best bet. Swell from the SSW at 2 feet, 20 second period, and the wind is dead calm – glass. It’s small enough for most, but that period gives it some life. The spot is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. Crowds can show up sometimes, so expect a few friendly faces.
After Monday the 13th, it fades back to tiny, ordinary surf. Then on Sunday the 19th of July, we see a 3 foot NW swell with glassy conditions and combined energy of 320 – that’s a longer-range possibility to keep an eye on, but don’t bet the house on it yet.
Focus on the weekend of July 11-12. That’s the only real action.
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.
