The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. Alright, listen up. The next 16 days out at El Conquistador are gonna be a real mixed bag, and if I'm being honest, it's mostly a tale of small surf and a whole lot of waiting. The first few days dish up some tiny, rideable waves, but nothing to get fired up about. Then there is a long, dull stretch from August 8th all the way through August 15th where the surf just goes to sleep. We're talking flat-ish, barely a bump. That's a solid week of not much.
The brightest spot, if you can call it one, actually comes early. Sunday morning, August 2nd. We've got a 1ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a 13-second period. The real story here is the wind. It's glassy, a WNW breeze at just 3 mph. That is perfect, clean conditions. For a spot that gets small like this, a glassy morning is gold. The water temp is sitting at a normal 73° for the time of year. The combined energy is weak at only 88, so it's not going to be pumping, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, a little knee-to-waist high wave with a clean face is all you need. It's a very consistent break, which helps.
Honestly, the other little spike in swell around August 12th is nothing special. We see a 2ft NW swell peeking through, but the period is short at 9 seconds. While Wednesday morning and afternoon on the 12th are clean, the tiny size and short period mean it'll be a bit messy and weak. It's surfable, but it's not a standout. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your window later on, but expectations should be on the floor.
The long period of flatness from the 8th onward is pretty standard for this area when there's no solid swell pushing in. Don't stress too much; forecasts can always change. For now, get your paddling in on that glassy Sunday morning if you can.
Keep an eye on the horizon, folks.
Rusty.
