The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks at El Conquistador, we are in for a long, flat spell. Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The surf just isn't showing up. We’re looking at a solid gap of small, weak conditions from now until at least the 28th of September. It’s not going to be a total washout every day, but nothing is getting my heart rate up.
Starting off Monday the 14th, it’s tiny. You’ve got a weak 1ft swell from the NW with a short period, but the cross-off wind from the SSE is just ruining any chance of a wave. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Tuesday the 15th is a bit of a tease – the morning is glassy with a tiny 1.0ft SSW swell, but it's just too small to do anything with. Wednesday the 16th brings a slightly better pulse. We see a 2ft swell from the S, period stretching out to 16 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The combined energy is still low at (155), but with the offshore wind from the ESE, the shape might be okay for a really long board. It’s not going to be pumping, but you might get a few knee-high runners.
From the 17th through to the 23rd, it’s more of the same story. Tiny swells, mostly 1.0ft to 2ft from the SSW or S, with long periods but hardly any energy. The combined energy readings are weak, mostly in the double digits or low triple digits. We get some glassy mornings and clean conditions, but it’s strictly small-wave cruising. The 25th of September is worth a mention because the afternoon sees a tiny 2ft NW swell arrive with zero wind and a glassy surface. Combined energy hits (121), so there’s a little more push, but it’s still ankle-snappers at best.
The final few days, the 28th and 29th, the energy completely drops out. We're looking at 0.7ft and 1.0ft swells with combined energy down to (14) and (19). That’s flat.
If you’re a beginner, the tiny, clean days might be okay for learning to pop up, but don’t expect to actually ride anything. For anyone else, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for the next real swell.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
