Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming down the line.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat spell for this stretch. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with no real standout sessions on offer. The first few days are a write-off, with weak, short-period windswell and onshore winds messing things up. There’s a brief moment on Thursday the 16th of July where the morning offers a marginal chance, but it’s still nothing to get excited about. After that, it’s a long, grim run of poor conditions right through until the end of the window.
The only spot we’re looking at is El Corniche. It’s a rarely breaks kind of place, so that alone tells you the bar is low.
Thursday 16th July morning is the closest thing to a highlight, and it’s a real stretch. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and onshore from the WNW, but it’s light enough that the water might not be too messy. That’s about all I can give you – it’s marginal, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The energy is moderate, but it’s a short-period windswell, so don’t expect much push or shape. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
For the rest of the month, the swell barely cracks 3ft, periods stay short (6 to 7 seconds), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There’s nothing here that even sniffs at being good. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” but with conditions this poor, you probably won’t see many out there. This is just one of those quiet spells the area gets. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
