The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the line.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a flat spell. From Saturday the 22nd of August right through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny and weak. The energy numbers are down in the teens and forties, so there’s just no push. You’ll get some glassy mornings, but the waves are barely there. It’s a waiting game.
The one real standout pops up on Monday the 31st of August. El Conquistador comes alive with a 3ft swell out of the SSW, with a period of 16-18 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell with some real weight. The energy jumps to 438-463 (moderate), so it’s got some punch. The wind is a light ESE breeze, cross-off, keeping it glassy. The water temp is about 76°, which is a degree warmer than average, so it’s a bit on the warm side. This is the best session of the whole run, no doubt.
Tuesday the 1st of September is almost as good. Still a 3ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and the energy hits 500 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the ESE, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. Another one to mark down.
After that, the swell fades. Wednesday the 2nd still has some 3ft waves in the morning, but the wind gets a bit tricky by the afternoon. The rest of the week drops back into the 1-2ft range, with mostly clean conditions but nothing special.
So, the takeaway? The first week is a dud. The real action is Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your window.
Rusty.

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.
