Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you about El Corniche. This run of days ahead? It’s a rough stretch.
The water is sitting at a toasty 82°F , which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a real standout, but unfortunately about the only standout we’ve got. The north-northwest swell direction hitting this exposed beach setup just isn’t what the break wants; it’s been angling for something out of the north. And the short-period, weak-energy windswell (just 109 combined energy) to start things off on Saturday 4th July afternoon with a strong 15 mph onshore wind makes for a total write-off.
Look, the whole first week is messy. Through Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th July, the swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the NW—but with periods barely above 7–8 seconds and solid 12–15 mph onshore winds, it’s just blown-out, choppy slop. The wave energy does climb into the moderate range, hitting over 400 on Tuesday morning, but with onshore winds, that energy just means a lot of whitewater and no shape. Expect a gap with zero solid surf recommendations for at least the first ten days straight.
Into the second week, things quieten down but don’t really get any better. By Friday 10th July morning, the swell drops below 3ft and the combined energy falls into the weak two-digit numbers (93). There’s a brief moment on Wednesday 15th July morning with 4ft NW swell and a gentle 9 mph onshore wind—the energy hits 156—but it’s still poor surf conditions. The closest thing to a mention is Thursday 16th July morning: a disappointing 3ft NW swell, weak energy of 61, but at least the wind is a lighter 6 mph cross-on. Even then, it’s only *marginal surf forecast*, so don’t get your hopes up.
For a spot that "rarely breaks" anyway, this 16-day window looks like a full blank. If you’re a kiter, these consistent onshore winds and that medium-sized swell in the first week might get you excited. For a surfer? Best to stay patient—forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Rusty.

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.
