The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for El Huerto in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is about 71°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 30th is a complete washout with onshore wind and rain. Nothing to see here.
Monday the 31st brings a 6ft NW swell, moderate energy, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it from being clean. It’s marginal.
Tuesday the 1st morning is the first real chance. Wind goes east, cross-offshore, and the swell is 4ft from the NW. Clean conditions, small but rideable.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are small and weak. Swell under 3ft, not worth the effort.
Friday the 4th afternoon sees a 5ft NW swell with a 13-second period, energy building. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but the groundswell is coming.
Saturday the 5th morning is the big one. 7ft of NW swell, 14-second period, and light cross-offshore wind. The energy is a massive 1824 – that’s strong, powerful surf. The water will be clean. This is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners, but for the experts, it’s gonna be firing. The swell direction is spot on.
Sunday the 6th morning still has some clean 4ft swell with an 11-second period, but the energy is lower. It’s fun, but Saturday is the clear winner.
After that, the second week is small. Swell drops under 3ft, and the wind is messy or onshore. There’s a glassy morning on Tuesday the 8th, but only 3ft of weak WNW swell. The rest is mostly poor surf.
Bottom line: Saturday the 5th morning is your best shot. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
