Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Lloret over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook is a tough one. For the first few days, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is flat and weak, with poor conditions. You’re looking at a gap of about three days before we see any real pulse. The first day that offers a chance is Wednesday the 16th of July, but even then, it’s not pretty.
The main spot on the radar is El Lloret. It’s a consistent reef break, intermediate-level, and it handles a NNW swell best. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real action kicks off on Thursday the 17th of July. The swell starts to build, with a north-northeast direction pushing in around 5 ft, but the period is short at 7 seconds. The wind is onshore and blowing 12 mph, so it’s going to be messy. The combined energy is moderate (228), but the conditions are poor. Not the day to get excited.
Things get a bit heavier from Saturday the 19th of July through to Monday the 21st of July. The swell picks up to 7 ft, still from the north-northeast, with a period of 8-9 seconds. The wind remains onshore, 16 mph, and the combined energy climbs into the strong range (594-724). This is solid, punchy surf, but it’s blown out and onshore. For a reef break, that’s not ideal. The size is getting into that expert-only territory, well over 5 ft, so if you’re a beginner, stay on the sand.
The best of the bunch, if you can call it that, looks like Tuesday the 22nd of July. The swell drops slightly to 6 ft, still north-northeast, period 9 seconds, and the wind finally shifts to a lighter cross-onshore at 9 mph. The energy is still strong (583). It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest the swell will be all week. It’s still a bit rough, but it’s the closest we get to a window.
As we roll into the second week, from the 23rd of July onwards, the swell holds at around 4 ft to 5 ft, period 9-10 seconds, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, 9-19 mph. The energy is moderate to strong (286-471). The direction is mostly north-northeast, which is not the optimum for this break. No real standout. It’s going to be a series of average, choppy days.
So, to put it bluntly: the standout is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of July. The swell is solid, the wind is the lightest it’s going to be, and the energy is there. It’s not a classic, but it’s your best bet. If you’re keen, paddle out then. Otherwise, maybe wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
