The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about El Huerto. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow burner, but there’s some serious action if you’re patient.
Monday the 14th is a write-off. Small 3ft NW swell with a 11-second period and a stiff cross-off wind. Don’t bother paddling out.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are all onshore junk. Rain and poor surf conditions keep the scores at zero.
Thursday the 17th is a marginal call. Swell builds to 5ft from the NW, 11-second period, but it’s still onshore and questionable.
Here’s where the switch flips. Friday afternoon the 18th sees a big 8ft NW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy hits 2585 (strong to very strong). The wind is light cross-on, so it’s not glassy, but that’s a lot of ocean moving.
Saturday the 19th morning is the crown jewel. That 8ft NW swell is still pumping (13-second period), and the wind goes glassy – dead calm from the ESE. This is an excellent session for experts. The spot is consistent and draws a crowd, so expect a full lineup.
Sunday the 20th morning holds onto a clean 5ft NW swell with a nice 11-second period and a light offshore breeze. A cracking follow-up day.
After the 21st, the swell drops off hard. You’ll get some glassy mornings (like the 22nd and 25th) with 3 to 5ft swells, but the energy is weak to moderate (combined values under 500 or even under 100). It’ll be surfable but nothing to write home about.
Bottom line: don’t waste your time before Friday the 18th. The all-time session is Saturday the 19th morning when it’s glassy and pumping. For the big-wave crew, Friday afternoon is your ticket. After that, it’s small and quiet.

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.
