Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one for the paddle. The forecast for El Corniche is pretty much a write-off for surf, with a long stretch of nothing to get excited about.
From now, the 6th of July, right through until the 20th of July, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for the vast majority of that time. You’ll see a little bump up around the 7th of July, with swell hitting 6ft from the NW, but that 8-second period is short and the wind is a solid 12-15 mph onshore. That’s just a messy, blown-out mess with moderate wave energy (427 on the Tuesday morning). Not worth paddling out for.
The 10th of July through the 19th of July is almost flat. Swell drops to 2ft and below, with periods of 4-6 seconds. The energy is weak, with values in the single digits to low 60s. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 17th and 18th of July, but the swell is 2ft or less. That’s a lake, not a surf break.
Now, the first glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the 20th of July. The Monday morning brings a 5ft NW swell with a 7-second period, and a light WNW breeze that’s onshore. The combined energy climbs to 183 (moderate), but it’s still only a marginal call. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5ft, but the wind picks up to 12 mph, and it’s poor again. The 21st of July sees a similar story – 5ft NW swell, 8-second period, light NW wind, and energy at 223. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a long way off.
Because this spot is a beach break and rarely breaks, and the wind is just never playing ball, this whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, there’s no standout here. The best of the whole 16-day window is the morning of the 21st of July, but it’s a promise that’s two weeks away and uncertain. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

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.
