The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for El Conquistador over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat spell. We’re sittin’ on a very consistent beach and reef set-up that usually loves a south swell, but the ocean just ain’t deliverin’ much. The first few days, from Tuesday the 28th right through the end of the month, we’re lookin’ at tiny dribbles – 0.7ft to 1ft at best – with weak energy (7 to 33). The wind is occasionally glassy, which is nice, but there’s just no push behind it. The water’s sittin’ at 74°, which is about normal for this time of year.
We finally see a little bump in the road on Saturday the 1st of August. The afternoon brings a 1.0ft swell from the SSW with a nice long 15-second period, and the combined energy nudges up to 75. It’s clean, with a light cross-off breeze, and the reports say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’ll get, but it’s still a tough call for a paddle.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning has similar vibes – 1ft SSW, 13-second period, 91 energy, and clean. After that, it’s back to the same small stuff. The week after, from Monday the 10th onward, is mostly flat or tiny, with very little energy. The odd 2ft bump shows up here and there, but it’s inconsistent.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Saturday the 1st and the morning of Sunday the 2nd. The swell direction matches the optimum (S/SSW), and the winds are light or offshore, so the surface will be clean. But the size is so small that it’s really only a session for a longboard or a foiler. No real power, no real push. Crowds are possible at this spot, but with this surf, I doubt you’ll see many takers.
If you’re new to the sport, this is actually fine – the tiny waves are perfect for learning. But if you’re lookin’ for a proper wave, you’re better off waitin’ for a new forecast.
The rest of the 16 days is a long gap of flat or near-flat conditions. Nothing to get excited about.

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.
