The Lowdown
Righto, surf’s up… or at least it’s about to be. Let’s break down what’s coming for El Huerto. This classic point break is set to fire on a couple of occasions, so mark your calendar.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with Saturday the 12th offering nothing but tiny 2ft waves and a messy cross-offshore breeze. Not worth paddling out for. But from Sunday morning the 13th, things start looking up. You’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell with a lovely long 13-second period pushing in. The energy is moderate (565), and with a slight easterly breeze, the face will be smooth. This is a solid, surfable option.
The real standout, though, is the stretch from Monday the 21st through Tuesday the 22nd of September. This is the one you wait for. Monday morning delivers 7ft of NW groundswell with a 14-second period, and offshore ESE winds. That’s the dream combo for a point break – power, shape, and a clean face. Combined swell energy is a strong 1688, and this is expert territory. The waves will be solid, lined up, and proper. Tuesday morning looks equally exciting with 8ft NW swell and a 13-second period, clean with a cross-off breeze. Again, this is for experienced surfers only – the size and power will be intimidating for beginners. The water temperature is around 70°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Before that, don’t ignore the Sunday the 20th. It’s a smaller but incredibly clean day. Both morning and afternoon see 5ft to 6ft of NW swell with glassy conditions – literally no wind. The energy is moderate to strong (558-867), and it’ll be perfect for intermediates wanting some fun, clean waves without the grunt of the bigger days.
Things get a bit chopped up from the 23rd onwards, with onshore winds returning and dropping swell. There’s a brief window on the 26th with some 4ft to 4ft NW swell, but the wind tends to turn onshore, making the conditions messy. The very end of the period on the 27th has a 5ft NW swell with a very long 16-second period, but strong cross-onshore winds spoil the party.
So, the best bets are clear: Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd of September for the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful surf – expert only. Sunday the 20th for a cleaner, more manageable session. The middle week from the 15th to the 19th offers some size but is plagued by onshore winds, making it more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
