The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is a pretty quiet stretch for El Conquistador. You're looking at a long wait for anything decent, so don't rush down there.
The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a long session without a wetsuit.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th of August and Friday the 28th offer tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. Saturday the 29th is flat. We're staring down a gap of a few days with nothing on the table.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning sees a small 1 ft swell from the SSW, with a very long 17-second period, giving the water some real energy (94). The wind is light and offshore from the ESE, so it'll be clean, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. It's surfable, but ordinary.
Things start to look up on Monday the 31st. The swell builds to 2 ft from the SSW, with a long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 315. Winds are light and cross-off from the SSE, keeping it clean. This is the first decent session of the outlook, with good surf conditions expected.
The standout period is Tuesday the 1st of September through to Wednesday the 2nd. On Tuesday, we see the peak of the swell at 3 ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period and combined energy hitting 446. Winds are light cross-off from the SE and ESE. This is the best on offer – clean, consistent, and with enough push for a fun time on a longboard or a fish. The waves are well-shaped for a beach and reef setup.
The quality drops off after Wednesday the 2nd. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th see the swell fade and conditions become ordinary. Then from Saturday the 5th through to most of the second week, the wind turns onshore or cross-on, and the swell drops right out. The 11th of September shows a late pulse of 3 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and a clean offshore wind, which could be a sneaky session, but it's a long way out.
For a beginner, the best window is Tuesday the 1st of September, with clean 3 ft waves. The very long period means the sets will be well-spaced, making paddling out easier. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.

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.
