The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the local gen on the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Let's be straight with you: the entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. The only spot in the game, El Lloret, a reef break that's fairly exposed to the swell, is just copping a constant dose of messy conditions. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 76°F, but that's small comfort.
The pattern is grim and consistent. From Saturday the 29th all the way through to Sunday the 13th of September, every single forecast is marked as "poor surf conditions." The wind is relentless, mostly a moderate breeze from the north or north-northeast, keeping it cross-on or onshore, which just chops everything up. The swell is a mix of short-period windswell (often 6 to 8 seconds) and occasionally a bit of longer-period groundswell (9 to 11 seconds), but the directions are all over the shop—NNW, N, NNE, NE—and the quality is just never there. The wave energy is moderate, getting up to around 705 (moderate) on the 29th, but it doesn't matter because the wind trashes it. There's a brief spell on the 2nd of September where the swell pushes up to 7 ft, but that's with short 8-second period and onshore wind, so it's just a messy, blown-out mess for experts only.
The gap of good surf is the entire period. We're talking a solid 16 days of nothing. The consistency at El Lloret is usually good, but this run is a total blank. Hey, it happens. There's just no window where the wind and swell line up. This setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Keep your hopes on the next forecast, but for now, there's nothing to chase.
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.
