The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re lookin’ at a patchy run for El Huerto, so keep your expectations low.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The first real chance to get wet is Thursday morning, the 6th of August. We’re lookin’ at small, clean 3ft swell out of the NNW, with a light cross-off breeze from the east. The water is sittin’ at 72°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (134), so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable, but it’s not gonna get your heart racin’.
The next few days are a real struggle. Friday and Saturday drop off to tiny, weak waves, and the wind is just not cooperatin’. The swell energy is pitiful – we’re talkin’ numbers like 39, 32, 16 – it’s barely a ripple. Saturday morning is glassy with 1ft, but it’s flat.
We get a slight lift on Sunday the 9th, with a 3ft NW swell, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’s gonna be a mess. The energy bumps up to a moderate 120, but it’s not worth the drive with that wind.
The glimmer of hope, and the only standout on offer, is Monday mornin’, the 10th of August. We’ve got glassy conditions, a light WNW breeze, and a 3ft NW swell. The period is a modest 9 seconds, but the calm conditions will make it look its best. The combined energy is moderate (104). It’s not a big day, but for a clean, quiet paddle, that’s your window.
After that, it’s more of the same small stuff. The 18th of August sees a bump in size with a 4ft NNW swell in the afternoon, but the cross-shore wind will chop it up; the energy is strong (226) but the conditions won’t do it justice. The 20th of August mornin’ has a glassy 2ft with a nice 11-second period, givin’ it some shape (energy 119), but again, it’s tiny.
Honestly, if you’re lookin’ for a session, pin your hopes on Monday the 10th mornin’. It’s the cleanest, most user-friendly window we’ve got. The rest of the outlook is a lot of waitin’ for somethin’ that just doesn’t arrive.
Rusty.

Information about the El Huerto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Huerto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Huerto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Huerto 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 Huerto) 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 Huerto 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.
