Alright, let me tell you how it is. Things have been flat and pretty ordinary around here for a while now. For El Conquistador, we’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.
From Saturday the 4th right through to the morning of Friday the 10th, it’s been a struggle. We’re talking tiny waves, mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with very weak combined swell energy (usually below 100), and the conditions are just frankly poor. There’s a few glassy moments on Monday afternoon, but with hardly any swell to ride, it’s not worth paddling out. It’s a proper gap of nearly a week of nothing to get excited about.
Things finally start to look up from Saturday the 11th. That morning is the standout. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW groundswell, with a long period of 20 seconds, and the combined swell energy jumps right up to 367 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. That long period means better shaped, more energetic waves, but at a beach-and-reef setup like this, those long gaps between sets might make it a little tricky to line up. It’s still the best on offer by a long way. The swell is small, so it’s fine for beginners too. Expect crowds sometimes as it’s very consistent.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th also look solid with clean, offshore mornings, 2ft to 3ft SSW swell, energy in the 280-307 range, and light ESE winds. These are good, surfable days with decent shape.
After that, Tuesday afternoon the 14th is glassy but the swell drops off, and we slide back into small, ordinary conditions for the rest of the second week. There are little pulses the weekend of the 18th-19th, but they’re nothing special – 1ft to 2ft with only light cross-offshore winds. The surf is weak again.
So, if you’ve got a window, your best bet is that Saturday the 11th through Monday the 13th. It’s been a long wait, but it’s finally here. Get on it.

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.
