Alright gang, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for El Corniche over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a grim outlook. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and we’ve got a long run of poor surf.
The water is sittin’ at 82°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath. That’s the only thing worth noting for a while.
Looking at the full 16-day run, there’s a big ol’ gap of nothing. From the start all the way through to about Thursday, July 10th, it’s all poor conditions with onshore wind and weak, messy waves. You might see a tiny knee-high wave on the morning of Saturday, July 12th with a bit of NNW swell at 4ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is on it. The energy is weak (142), so it’s not going to do anything for you.
The only tiny glimmer comes on Monday, July 21st. That morning we might finally get a little pulse of NNW swell around 5ft, with a light offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. The combined energy climbs to a modest 228, which is at least something. The period is still a short 7 seconds though, so it’s not going to have much push. With light wind, it might be a bit cleaner than the rest of this mess, but don’t expect anything epic. It’s a marginal call, best for someone who is really jonesing and doesn’t mind the break being inconsistent.
Honestly, the best call for this 16-day stretch is to leave the board in the truck and go for a dip. The water is warm, but the surf is a total dud. The wind never really swings clean offshore, and the swell direction (mostly NW and NNW) doesn’t match the ideal N direction the break wants.
Keep an eye on that Monday morning, July 21st, for a slim chance, but otherwise, just kick back.
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. 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.
