The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's be real – it's gonna be a dry spell. We've got a 16-day window ahead, but the waves are a no-show for the most part.
We start on Sunday the 26th of July with some size, but it's blown out. The swell is from the NW around 6ft to 7ft, but that onshore wind from the NNW and NW is just trashing it. The combined energy is moderate to strong (353 to 540), but the poor surf conditions ruin it. That pattern holds; the swell drops fast and the wind, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeps everything messy.
The only moments that even get a look are Tuesday the 28th of July morning and Friday the 31st of July morning. On Tuesday morning, the swell is small at 3ft from the NNW with a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is light cross-onshore. It’s still marginal and the energy is weak (71). Friday morning is similar, with a 3ft NW swell, 8-second period, and light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is weak (120). But for a spot that rarely breaks like El Corniche, this isn't cutting it. It needs a much better aligned swell.
From Saturday the 1st of August onward, the surf dies completely. We're looking at tiny waves under 2ft with almost no energy in the water (values dropping from 60 down to 3). There's a long stretch from the 2nd of August right through to the 10th of August where there's nothing worth even looking at.
There are no standouts here. This is a blank run that is pretty normal for the area when the conditions don't align for this exposed spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
Rusty.

Information about the El Corniche Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Corniche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Corniche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Corniche 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.

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 Corniche 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.
