The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it – this 16-day stretch is a flat spell in the making. The only spot in the mix is El Corniche, and it rarely breaks, so a run of poor conditions like this is pretty normal for the area. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July, so you’ve got over a week of nothing worth chasing.
Monday 27th July – The morning at El Corniche is the closest we get to a session. The swell is 5ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (236). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NNE, which is the cleanest we’ll see. It’s a marginal forecast, but you might snag a wave or two. The afternoon goes back to messy cross-onshore chop.
Tuesday 28th July – Another marginal morning at El Corniche. The swell drops to 3ft from the NNW, period of 6 seconds, with weak energy (47). A light cross-onshore breeze keeps it from being totally flat, but it’s not worth a paddle.
Saturday 1st August – The morning shows a little more push, with 3ft from the NNW and a 7-second period, giving moderate energy (107). The wind is light and onshore from the NW. It’s a marginal call, the best of a bad bunch.
Sunday 2nd August – A marginal morning again, with 2ft from the NNW and weak energy (60). Light onshore wind. Nothing special.
The rest of the days are just tiny, onshore, choppy junk. The water temperature on the first record is 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing here to get excited about. If you’re really keen, the cleanest shot is the Monday morning of the 27th, but don’t hold your breath. The long-range into early August has a few marginal pulses, but it’s a waiting game.
This is Rusty, keeping it real.

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. If you surf the same spot (El Corniche) 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 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.
