The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, in feet and miles per hour for you.
Let’s talk El Lloret. The first few days are a total bust for any decent surf. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some size, about 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is blowing 15-16 mph from the NNW, right onshore, and it’s all chopped up. The combined swell energy is moderate (471 on Saturday morning), but conditions are just poor. Not worth the paddle.
There’s a little window on Monday morning, September 14th. The swell drops to 4ft from the NNE, but the wind goes glassy – a light 3 mph easterly. That’ll clean it right up. The combined energy is moderate (253). It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, Tuesday drops to 2ft and the wind swings back onshore.
The swell fades mid-week, with tiny 1ft to 3ft waves and weak periods. Energy drops into double digits. Not worth suiting up.
Things try to build again late in the week. Thursday the 17th sees swell jump back to 6ft-7ft from the NNE, with combined energy at 582, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the north, right onshore. All chop. Friday the 18th is similar – 7ft from the NNE with a long period of 10 seconds (solid groundswell potential), but again, strong cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. Combined energy is 905, so there’s plenty of power, but the surface will be lumpy and ugly. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The following weekend sees the swell ease to 4ft-5ft, but still with onshore winds. Sunday morning the 20th, the wind goes light and cross-off from the east, cleaning things up again. Swell is 3ft from the north with moderate combined energy (211). Ordinary, but at least it’s clean.
The best option is that Monday morning, September 14th. It’s the only time you get glassy conditions with a little bit of swell. For raw power, Friday the 18th is the standout, but the wind kills it for paddle surfing. That reef setup would love the north-northwest optimum direction, but you’d need offshore wind to make it work.
After that, there’s a long stretch of low-quality surf with nothing worth recommending from September 19th through the end of the period on the 27th. Swell stays small, wind stays messy. Not a good run.
This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the El Lloret Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Lloret provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Lloret can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Lloret 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 Lloret) 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 Lloret 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.
El Lloret is 5 km (3 miles) from Las Palmas. If you plan a holiday in Gran Canaria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Las Palmas. Las Palmas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
