The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. Looking at the whole 16-day window for El Lloret, it’s a real struggle. The data’s painting a pretty grim picture, with "poor surf conditions" flagged for every single time slot. That’s a long stretch of nothing good, starting from right now and lasting all the way through to the end of the month. A real blank run for this area, and it's not unusual to see a quiet spell like this.
The swell is there, but it's all wrong. We’ve got a persistent NNE wind, blowing straight onshore, which is just trashing any chance of a clean wave. The swell direction is coming from the NNE, which is a far cry from the optimum NNW direction for this reef. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it's weak, disorganized windswell, not the kind of groundswell that makes this place light up. The combined wave energy starts off weak (96) and builds to strong levels (over 900), but it's all just messy, choppy, wind-affected junk.
The water’s a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 74°, but that’s the only good news.
Honestly, there’s no standout, no hidden gem, no “go right now” moment in this forecast. For a reef break, you need that clean, offshore wind to get the lines right, and we’re not getting a sniff of it. The waves get up to 8 ft in the last week of July, but with that onshore wind, it’s just a big, blown-out mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Don’t chuck the board in the shed just yet, but keep your expectations in the dirt. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
