The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for El Conquistador over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a flat spell. There’s barely enough push to get a proper ride. The tiny 1ft to 1ft swells that roll through Wednesday to Friday are just too weak to get excited about, even with the glassy and light wind conditions. The combined energy is laughably low, sitting between 86 and 37 (weak). It’s a real waiting game.
Things finally start to look a little more interesting on the 15th of August. We get a pulse of 1ft swell from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, and the energy bumps up to 58 (weak). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE, so it’ll be clean. But that small size and long period means it’ll be a bit walled-up at the beach break. There’s a bit more of the same on the 16th and 17th, with the 17th morning offering some glassy 1ft SSW swell with a 14-second period.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, falls on the 20th of August. Thursday morning brings a jump to 2ft of SSW swell, with a 15-second period. The combined energy hits 302 (moderate), which is the strongest we’ve seen in the whole run. The wind is glassy from the SW, so the surface will be perfect. The SSW direction is bang on the optimum for this spot. This is easily the best window in the 16-day forecast. It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water is about average for this time of year.
For the rest of the time, it’s a lot of nothing. From the 8th to the 14th of August, there are seven days straight where the conditions are rated as poor. A long, dry spell for a surfer.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in the 20th of August for the best chance of a clean, fun wave. It’s not a monster, but it’s the only ride in town worth paddling out for.
Rusty.

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.
