The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a quiet period. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves and a lot of days where it’s barely worth paddling out. The first bit of surf worth mentioning kicks off on Thursday, September 3rd, but don’t get too excited.
Thursday, September 3rd brings the best of a very average run. El Conquistador will see a clean, glassy morning with a 2ft SSW swell, period of 13 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which at a beach and reef setup can sometimes be a bit too straight, but the energy is weak (135 combined energy). The water is sitting at 76°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The wind is dead calm in the morning – glassy as it gets. By the afternoon, a light SE breeze kicks in, staying clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
After that, Friday the 4th through to the end of the first week is a real letdown. The swell drops further, and we get a mix of cross-shore wind and tiny waves. Saturday the 5th has glassy conditions but only 1ft of NW swell. It’s the kind of day you’d take a longboard out for a paddle, but not much else.
The second week is a similar story. There’s a long gap from around Monday the 7th through to late in the week where the wave heights stay under 2ft and the combined energy barely registers. We see a slight pulse on Thursday, September 10th with a 1ft SSW swell and 13-second period, but the energy is still anemic (59 combined energy). For the rest of the run, expect tiny, weak waves. The wind stays mostly light or offshore, keeping it clean, but there’s just no power.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that first Thursday morning, September 3rd. It’s the only time we get a glimpse of something with a bit of period and glass. For the rest of this 16-day window, it’s a waiting game. The break is very consistent, but the swell just isn’t showing up. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath.
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. 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.
