The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little stretch of coastline.
Right off the bat, you can see this is a pretty flat spell we're lookin' at. The swell energy is just not there to get the blood pumpin'. We're talkin' days and days of small, weak surf. The first real chance to get wet comes in on Wednesday, July 15th, with a tiny, clean 1ft groundswell mixin' in from the SSW and a touch from the WNW. The water is a warm 74°, which is a touch above the norm for this time of year, so the summer feel is there, even if the waves aren't.
The pick of the bunch, and I mean the only real standout, is El Conquistador. This spot is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and it faces south, so it catches whatever little pulses are around. The best conditions will be from Wednesday, July 15th, right through to Monday, July 20th. The swell is tiny, between 1.0ft and 2ft, but it's a long-period groundswell (13 to 18 seconds), which is a double-edged sword. It means the waves will have some shape and energy, but at a beach break you might see them standin' up a bit too straight. The real win here is the wind. You're gettin' glassy mornings and clean offshore ESE breezes, which will make those tiny waves look like a million bucks. The combined energy is weak, rangin' from 66 to 150 (moderate), so it's just a gentle little pulse.
Don't expect to get drained or anything – this is strictly a longboard or a foamie kind of session. After the 20th, the swell really drops off into a flat and boring run with a lot of days with no real surf to speak of, just a few tiny, weak waves barely worth a mention. The last day of the month, the 30th, is a complete washout with zero swell.
So, if you're itchin' to get a paddle in, the window from Wednesday, July 15th to Monday, July 20th is your only real shot. It's small, but it'll be clean, and the consistency will keep you busy. Otherwise, it's a long wait for things to pick up again.
Rusty.

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.
