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 cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
El Conquistador is a beach and reef setup, and it’s a very consistent little wave. The water temp is sitting at 72°F right now, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook kicks off right away. Saturday morning, the 11th, we’ve got a clean 2ft SSW swell with a long period of 20 seconds. The wind is glassy out of the south. That long period groundswell is packing some decent energy (378) and will make for some nice, lined-up waves, but remember, with that period, it might break a bit straight at the beach, so look for the reef sections to get the best of it. This is a standout for the clean conditions.
Sunday the 12th is similar. A touch bigger at 2ft, still SSW, period dropping to 18 seconds. Morning sees a clean cross-off, but the afternoon turns glassy again. That’s a solid day for a paddle.
Monday the 13th might be the pick of the first week. 2ft to 3ft SSW swell, period down to 15 seconds, and the wind goes completely dead calm in the afternoon. Glassy perfection. The energy is still moderate (291). It’s small, but it’ll be incredibly clean.
Midweek, from Tuesday the 14th onward, the swell holds at 2ft to 2ft but the period drops below 14 seconds. The energy drops a bit too (down to 135), and the wind stays mostly clean or glassy. Still surfable but nothing to write home about. Crowds are only “sometimes” an issue here, so if you want a quiet one, these midweek days are your best bet.
Now, a heads up for the second week – things get pretty small. From Thursday the 16th until the 26th, the swell drops to 2ft and under, with energy readings falling into the double digits (as low as 14). The period is all over the place, but the heights are just too small for a proper wave. The wind stays glassy or clean for most of it, so you’ll be floating around on a lake. It’s a long stretch of flat, ordinary conditions.
The best of the lot is that opening weekend and Monday. Saturday morning the 11th through Monday the 13th. Small, glassy, clean. Get on it while you can.
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.
