The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's happening at El Conquistador over the next couple of weeks in proper feet and knots.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty flat and ordinary. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile at the start. We're looking at a run of days with tiny, weak swell and the only thing keeping it from being a total write-off is the calm, glassy conditions. The first real chance to get wet is Saturday afternoon, 1st August. The swell is only 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 98 – that's weak. But the wind is dead calm and the surf is glassy. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is sitting at 74°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Sunday morning, 2nd August, is similar – 1ft from the SSW, but with a 13-second period (94). The glassy conditions early will make it look pretty, but there's just no power. After that, from Monday 3rd through to the end of the week, we're stuck in a pattern of knee-high slop, 1.0ft to 2ft. The wind is mostly light or glassy, but the combined energy never gets above 100. These are the days you'd be better off checking the tide pools.
The best on offer, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Wednesday 5th August. The swell bumps up to 1ft from the SSW, but the period is a solid 13 seconds and the combined energy hits exactly 100. The wind is dead calm, making it glassy. It's the highest energy spike in the whole forecast. After that, it's back to the same tiny, weak swell from the NW for the second week.
Thursday 13th and Friday 14th August are particularly poor, with swell dropping to 1.0ft and periods falling to 5-6 seconds. The energy is pitiful. Honestly, this is a tough stretch. El Conquistador is a very consistent break, it's a beach and reef setup, so it's usually not this quiet. A blank run like this is a bit of a surprise for the area, but that's the reality of the forecast. For the average surfer, there's nothing here that's worth paddling out for. If you're desperate for a flat-water paddle, the glassy mornings are your only option.
Rusty.
