The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what El Conquistador has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to sit through. The opening days are all about tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions, so don’t bother paddling out until Monday the 31st of August at the earliest. That’s a solid few days of waiting.
The first real action kicks off on Monday the 31st of August. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°. We’re looking at clean, offshore winds and a solid pulse of energy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 311, with a 2ft swell from the SSW, and a long period of 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. Tuesday the 1st of September is the standout. Morning glass-off conditions with a 3ft SSW swell, period still long at 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 446 – moderate but punching well above its weight. For a beach and reef setup, that long period can sometimes make things a bit straight, but with those clean offshore winds, it’s going to be a joy. Expect good, clean surf. This is the pick of the outlook.
The quality holds through Wednesday the 2nd of September, with consistent 3ft SSW swell and cross-off winds keeping things tidy. However, by Thursday the 3rd of September, the energy drops off noticeably. The combined energy falls to 135, and the swell drops to 2ft. Conditions become very ordinary. From Friday the 4th of September onwards, we’re back into a long stretch of poor surf, with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. The second week is a write-off, with only tiny, messy waves on offer, and a few days of almost no wave energy at all. It’s a real shame after that promising start.
So, the call is simple: if you want a wave, clear your schedule for Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your window.
Rusty.

Information about the El Conquistador Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Conquistador provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Conquistador can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Conquistador surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
