Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Conquistador over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it’s a very quiet period. We’ve got a tiny, long-period groundswell trickling in from the south-southwest, but it’s really just enough to keep the board from drying out. The standout is definitely the first few days, from Sunday the 12th through Monday the 13th. After that, it fades fast into a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions.
The best bet is El Conquistador right now. On Sunday the 12th, we’re looking at a clean 2ft - 2ft SSW groundswell with a super long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (392), but that long period means the waves will have some shape and grunt. The wind is glassy in the afternoon, so it’ll be smooth. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around. Just keep in mind that with a period pushing 18 seconds, the waves might peel a bit straight at a beach break, but this spot handles it fine.
Monday the 13th is a carbon copy – glassy conditions, 2ft - 3ft SSW swell, and still a very long 15-16 second period. The energy is moderate (287-291). It’s small, but it’s clean and fun for a longboard or a funboard.
After Tuesday morning the 14th, the swell drops below 2ft and the energy weakens. From Wednesday the 15th all the way through to Monday the 27th of July, the surf is either tiny or just poor. There are a few glassy mornings out there, but the waves are so small (0.7ft - 2ft) that it’s hardly worth paddling out for. The combined energy drops into the double digits and low triple digits, which tells you it’s weak. Honestly, from Tuesday afternoon the 14th onward, it’s a real struggle.
If you're absolutely desperate and own a kite, there might be a bit of cross-off wind, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait for the next proper pulse.
Rusty.
