G'day, Rusty here. Let me tell you, the next couple of weeks at El Huerto are a tough watch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but honestly, for most of it, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just average. The swell direction is coming from the NW, which is the optimum for this point break, but the energy just isn't there. The combined swell energy is weak, often sitting below 100 (67), meaning it’s really just small, weak waves. The water temp feels about average for this time of year.
Let’s start with the only real highlight. Friday morning, July 10th. The wind goes dead calm, glassy conditions, and we get a tiny bump to 2ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The wave energy nudges up to 80. It’s not going to be anything epic, but for a summer session it’s the cleanest we’ll see. That’s your best bet.
Saturday morning, the 11th, is almost as good – glassy again with a light NNE breeze, but the swell drops to just 1ft. A longboard would be the go.
After that, it’s a rough run. Sunday the 12th sees the swell jump to 3ft, but the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, making it choppy. The energy climbs to 133 (moderate), but the quality is shot. From Monday the 13th through to Tuesday the 21st of July, we’re stuck in a cycle of tiny waves (1ft to 3ft), onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor conditions. The energy drops back into the weak range. The only day that stands out is Tuesday the 21st, when the swell builds to 5ft from the NNW with 375 energy (strong), but unfortunately the wind is onshore from the WNW, so it’ll be a mess. If that window of clean wind and bigger swell had aligned, we’d be talking. As it stands, it’s just frustration.
Bottom line: the only true standout is the glassy session on Friday the 10th for some tiny, clean, left-handers at the point. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, choppy, or blown-out conditions until the 21st, and even that bigger swell comes with bad wind. Plan your sessions around that Friday morning.
Rusty.

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.
