The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for El Conquistador.

The next 16 days are looking like a proper flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a tiny bit of energy kicking off the period, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get wet comes Friday afternoon, July 17th. We’re talking a tiny 1.0ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period. The combined energy is weak (102). The wind is light offshore from the ESE, which is a nice touch and will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s tiny. This is a beach-and-reef setup that’s very consistent, but with a swell this small, you’ll be fighting for little ankle-biters. Crowds are sometimes here, so expect a few others in the same boat.

Saturday morning, July 18th, is probably the best of a very average bunch. The swell is still a meager 1ft from the SSW, with a 18-second period, and the wind is glassy from the North. That’s a beautiful window of clean, glassy conditions. The energy is still moderate (127). It’s the cleanest it’s going to get, but the lack of height is the killer.

Sunday morning, July 19th, sees a slight bump to 2ft from the S, with a 16-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so it’s clean. The energy is moderate (150). It’s still just a tiny wave.

From Monday, July 20th, through Wednesday, July 22nd, we’ve got a slow fade. Swell hangs around 1ft with periods dropping from 15 seconds down to 11 seconds. Winds are mostly glassy or cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy drops from 109 down to a weak 58. It’s still surfable, but it’s small and weak.

Then from Thursday, July 23rd, onward, it gets grim. The swell drops to 0.7ft and then 0.7ft, and by Friday, July 24th, we’re into “poor surf conditions” zone. The energy numbers are in the teens and single digits. From July 24th all the way through to August 1st, it’s a long stretch of essentially flat, weak, and un-surfable conditions. There are a few random pulses of 2ft NW windswell on July 26th and 27th, but with a period of 7 seconds, it’s just lumpy, weak junk.

The standout, if you can call it that, is still the Saturday morning, July 18th session. The glassy conditions will make the most of that tiny 1ft groundswell. Just don’t expect to get your rails wet.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at El Conquistador can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
