Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Corniche over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at the same forecast but in feet and Fahrenheit for those who think in those numbers.
To be straight with you, El Corniche is looking pretty flat and frustrating. Starting from Saturday, July 11th, the surf is tiny and the wind is onshore from the NW nearly all day, every day. The wave comments keep saying "poor surf conditions" – there’s just no energy. The combined swell readings are barely over 100 for the first week, which tells you it’s weak.
We get a spike on Wednesday, July 15th, with the swell reaching about 6 ft from the NW. That’s the biggest we see. The period is short, just 8 seconds, so it’s a wind swell. The wave energy jumps to 408 – that’s moderate. But the wind is blowing onshore at 9-12 mph, so it’ll be messy and choppy. That size is only for experienced surfers, and honestly, it looks better for a kite than a surfboard.
After that, the surf quickly drops again. The only real glimmer is Monday, July 20th, in the morning. The wind goes glassy out of the WNW, with the swell around 4 ft from the NW and an energy reading of 106. The wave report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". That’s our best bet, but it’s still just average.
Then Friday, July 24th, the morning shows swell around 5 ft from the WNW, with a light WNW breeze at 6 mph. Wave energy is moderate at 261, but the comment calls it marginal. Could be a fun little session if the tide works, but don’t count on perfection.
Crowds at El Corniche are listed as "sometimes" busy, but with this forecast, I doubt many will show. The water temp is about normal for the season. It’s a tough outlook, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Rusty.

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.
