The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. The first real sniff of a wave is on Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. That’s a bit of a slow start, but once we get there, it’s a run of clean, small waves. The standout is that Wednesday afternoon. El Conquistador, a beach and reef break, will have a clean 3ft SSW swell with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a long, ground-swell, giving the waves some real shape. The water is a warm 76°, which is about a degree warmer than average. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be smooth as glass. The combined energy is moderate, at 269. It’s small, but it’s the best wave of the whole period. You’ll probably see a few others out there, as this spot is consistent.
After that, the surf drops off quick. Thursday morning (September 3rd) has a 2ft SSW swell, 13-second period, glassy, but the energy is down to 135 – still surfable, but just ordinary. The following days are a real struggle. From Friday, September 4th, through Tuesday, September 8th, we’re looking at tiny waves, 2ft and smaller, with periods under 12 seconds, and the energy barely registers. The real gap hits from Tuesday, September 8th, through Wednesday, September 9th – no swell at all, zero energy. That’s two full days of flat water.
We get a tiny pulse on Thursday, September 10th, with a 1.0ft SSW swell and a long period of 14 seconds, but the energy is only 36 – weak. The wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but it’s barely a wave. That theme continues through Friday, September 11th, and Saturday, September 12th – small, clean, but ordinary.
A bit more interesting is Monday, September 14th. The morning sees a 2ft NW swell, 14-second period, glassy wind, and the energy jumps to 144 – that’s moderate. It’s a small, long period groundswell. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best of the second week. The morning is the pick. By the afternoon, a light cross-onshore wind messes with the surface. Tuesday, September 15th, morning is similar, with a 2ft NW swell, 11-second period, glassy, and energy at 119. Clean, but still small.
Overall, the best window is the first afternoon of the period, September 2nd. After that, it’s a long stretch of tiny, mostly clean waves, with a few days of flatness. The second week is a waiting game, but Monday, September 14th, morning offers a little taste of something decent.

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.
