Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Conquistador over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Conquistador.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet 16-day window overall. The surf stays small, mostly under 3 feet, but there’s a subtle pulse of energy that pushes through the middle of the period. The opening days are tiny, with weak, long-period SSW groundswell bringing very small waves. The best of the action arrives from Saturday the 11th through to Monday the 13th, where we see a modest bump in size and a jump in energy. The water temperature is sitting at 73°F, which is about average for this time of year.
The standout for the whole outlook is the Saturday morning, July 11th. El Conquistador will see a 2-foot SSW swell with a period of 20 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell. That’s packing moderate energy (378) and the wind is light cross-off from the SSE, so the waves will be clean. The very long period (over 15 seconds) means these waves will have good shape but longer lulls between sets; it’s a reef-and-beach setup, so the long period should work well here. The Sunday morning, July 12th, is also worth a mention with similar 2-foot SSW swell, 18-second period, moderate energy (312), and clean conditions with a light ESE cross-off. By Monday morning, July 13th, we get a touch more size at 2 feet, glassy calm winds, and 16-second period, making for another clean session.
After that, the energy fades. From the 14th onward, the swell drops back under 2 feet and the period shortens, with only occasional windows of small, clean surf. The second week really goes quiet, with several days of weak, poor surf after the 15th. There’s a slight uptick around the 19th and 20th with some knee-high swell and cleaner winds, but nothing that jumps out.
For beginners, the swell stays well under 5 feet, so it’s manageable, but the long period on the best days can make the sets more powerful at the peak. Crowds are possible here, as the break is sometimes busy.
Overall, it’s a small window of decent surf right in the middle of the outlook, with the rest being pretty ordinary. Stay patient.
Rusty.
