The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m talking in feet and miles now.
Honestly, the first half of this outlook is a slow burn, but there is a pocket of good clean waves if you’re patient. For the next few days it’s tiny, but we get a run of surfable, clean conditions starting Monday the 31st of August through to Wednesday the 2nd of September. That’s your window.
El Conquistador is the only spot that’s breaking with any consistency. It’s a beach and reef set-up that stays consistent and exposed to the south. Water temp is 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, so comfortable.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. The wind is glassy, coming light from the east at around 3 mph. Swell is a fun 3ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period – that’s proper long-period groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 446. That kind of period will help the waves hold shape, especially over the reef. Monday the 31st morning is also clean, with 2ft SSW swell, and Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is glassy again with 3ft surf. Both are solid sessions.
After Thursday the 3rd, the swell drops back to 1ft or less, and the wind gets messy or onshore. There’s a long lull through the second week. The only glimmer is Saturday the 12th of September with a glassy morning and 1ft SSW swell at a 16-second period – but that’s a long way off and marginal, with energy around 103.
This is a small wave spot right now. That Tuesday shoot is the one to aim for. Crowds are listed as *sometimes*, so you might share the peak, but it shouldn’t be a zoo. For beginners, that 3ft surf is perfect – no worries at all.
Keep the faith for that early September run. The rest of the fortnight is quiet.
Rusty.

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.
