Right. Rusty here. Let me give this one a real look.
First off, it's going to be a bit of a waiting game, blokes. Running through the whole 16-day window, this stretch is mostly a long, flat lull. We are looking at a gap from now all the way through to the morning of the 25th of July with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves that do show up before that are small, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy stays weak for days, sitting down around 20 to 143, with short-period windswell that just doesn't stack up. The water at El Corniche is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, at 82°, which feels a bit off.
The one true standout is the 25th and 26th of July. On Saturday the 25th morning, we see a jump to 6 ft from the NW with an 8-second period, but the real spike is that afternoon: 7 ft from the NW, period stretching to 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 625 – that’s moderate to strong energy, finally. Sunday the 26th keeps the momentum with 7 ft from the NW, period at 9 seconds, and energy at 571. Now, a word of caution: this is a rare-breaking spot, and with the swell over 5 ft, it’s not for beginners. The 7 ft pushes well into expert-only territory. Also, that offshore wind is consistent from the NW and WNW, which will keep it clean. But the break is exposed, and the optimum direction from the guidance is N. The swell is coming from the NW, which is close but not dead perfect for the shape. Still, for this area, those two days are the only real window.
That's your lot. A long dry spell, then a solid couple of days right at the end.
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.
