The Lowdown
Hey guys, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for El Conquistador over the next two and a half weeks.
The first few days are dead. Starting Sunday, August 9th, we’re talking tiny 1-foot slop at best, with some clean glassy mornings but absolutely no juice. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper – numbers like 32, 27, 15 – and the waves just aren’t there. Keep your board in the car until midweek.
Wednesday, August 12th, we see the first spark. Waves inch up to about 1 to 1.5 feet with a little period, but it’s still ordinary – just barely surfable. Thursday morning the 13th is glassy with combined energy hitting 72, but it’s small, weak, and more about the session than the waves.
The real deal comes Monday, August 17th. We get a jump to 2.5 to 3 feet, SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and combined energy of 329 in the morning. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean conditions, then turns glassy in the afternoon. That morning session is the highlight of the whole forecast. The water temp is about 75°, right where it should be for this time of year.
After Monday, it gets mixed. Tuesday has energy but the wind gets messy. Wednesday and Thursday get onshore, choppy, and tough, even though Thursday afternoon sees the biggest combined energy of 495, with 3-foot waves at 14 seconds – just blown out by an onshore breeze. That one’s for advanced surfers only.
Friday, August 21st morning brings us another gem: glassy, 3-foot SSW swell, 14 seconds, combined energy of 404, and clean. That’s your second pick.
Everything after that tapers off into small, ordinary conditions through the final weekend and into the next week. No real standouts.
Bottom line: Monday, August 17th morning and Friday, August 21st morning are the only two windows I’d go out of my way for. The rest is a waiting game.

Information about the El Conquistador Surf forecast

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.

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.
