Okay, Rusty here again – switching to imperial so you mainlanders can follow. So, El Corniche – we're staring down a pretty bleak 16-day run from July 7th to July 22nd. This spot almost never breaks, and these charts confirm it. Surf is negligible for the whole period. There are a couple of mornings (Friday July 10th and Monday July 13th) that slide into "marginal", but that's a stretch – picture tiny 2 to 3 ft waves, short period around 6 to 7 seconds, and light cross-onshore breezes. Not worth the drive. The rest of the time? Onshore winds from the NW or WNW, mostly in the 15 to 25 mph range, and the swell maxes out around 5 to 6 ft but it's messy and weak. The combined energy numbers (262, 340, etc.) tell you there's something out there, but it's not the kind of energy that makes for good waves. By mid-July, the swell fades fast – by July 17th we're looking at barely 1 ft. For a break that rarely works, this is about as poor as it gets. Keep the stick on the rack and wait for a better window. That's all from me – 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.
