The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, ’cause I’ve had a proper look at what’s coming for El Huerto. Straight up, the next few days are gonna be a write-off, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. We’ve got a real slow start here, with nothing worth paddling out for from Wednesday the 22nd all the way through to the end of Sunday the 26th. That’s a solid five days of onshore junk and weak dribble. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is tiny and short-period. It’s flat-out poor.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday morning the 27th. That’s our first standout. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, and we get a clean 4 ft groundswell from the NW with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy is a decent 348 (moderate), and the water is way warmer than normal at 73°F, which is over 4°F above average for this time of year – feels like a tropical bath. This is the best session on offer: clean, nice lines, and that point should be reeling. It’s a consistent break, so you’ll get waves. It’s often crowded, so expect some company.
Tuesday morning the 28th is also clean with a light cross-off and a 4 ft NW swell, but the energy is a bit lower at 210. Still good, just not the standout. Then we hit Wednesday morning the 29th and that’s another highlight. The morning is glassy – dead calm, NNW wind at 3 mph – with a 4 ft NW groundswell at 10 seconds. Energy is 250. That’s a proper session for the connoisseur. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on, so get it early.
After that, the quality drops off. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are rideable but ordinary, with smaller swell and marginal conditions. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August is a mixed bag – Saturday is poor, but Sunday morning the 2nd of August is glassy again with a 3 ft WNW groundswell and 209 energy. Worth a dawny if you’re keen. Monday the 3rd of August morning has a clean cross-off and a 3 ft NNW swell, but after that, it fades into tiny, weak waves for the rest of the forecast.
So, your best bets are locked in for Monday the 27th and Wednesday the 29th of July. Get on it.

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).
