The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at El Huerto for the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour.
First thing – it’s flat and pretty disappointing. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Tuesday, July 22nd, so you’ve got a big gap of nothing from now until then. Don’t rush out.
Tuesday, July 22nd – We get a pulse of energy, 93 on the combined scale (moderate). Swell is 3ft from the NNE with a short 6-second period, so it’s weak and crumbly. Wind is cross-off from the ENE at 12 mph, which keeps the surface clean. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday, July 23rd – Thursday morning is the best it’s gonna get. Swell drops to 3ft from the NNE, still 6 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That makes a huge difference for clean, smooth waves. Combined energy is 64 (weak). It’s small, with short period, but at least it’s not chopped up. This is your best window.
After that, it goes downhill. The 29th and 30th of July bring bigger swell – 5ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps over 300 (strong). But the wind is on or cross-on, making it messy and poor. That size is for experts only, and the conditions are rough.
Only one true standout here: Thursday morning, July 23rd. Small and clean under glassy wind. That’s your best bet.
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.
