The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for El Lloret over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for a proper paddle-surfing session. We've got a solid run of swell, no doubt, but the wind is the villain in this story. For the entire first week, and well into the second, it's going to be a relentless onshore breeze from the north and north-northeast, blowing at a steady 16 mph. That’s going to chop the place up. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 73°F for this time of year, so that's one thing you don't have to worry about.
The first few days, from Sunday the 19th through to the 23rd, we're looking at a messy 6 ft to 6 ft NNE windswell with a short, punchy period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, but it's all junk. This is pretty much more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one. The swell builds through the end of the week, peaking on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th with 8 ft NNE swell and a slightly better 9-second period. The energy jumps up to strong levels, but with that same onshore wind, it's still going to be a messy, blown-out mess.
The biggest swell of the window arrives on Tuesday the 28th of July, with a solid 10 ft of NNE swell at 9 seconds. The combined energy is very strong, but the wind is still onshore. It's a powerful wave, but only for the well-experienced and even then, it won't be pretty. The conditions finally start to look a little less hostile towards the very end of the run, on the 31st of July and into the 1st of August. The swell drops back to 5 ft to 6 ft, and the wind eases slightly to 12 mph, but it's still onshore.
To be honest, there isn't a single standout break or session in this whole forecast. The wind is just too persistent. The reef at El Lloret can handle a bit of swell, but with the wind direction coming straight from the north-northeast, it's directly onshore, making it a real battle. There's no point in highlighting any one day because the quality is poor across the board. The consistent onshore flow just ruins any chance of a clean face.
This is a classic case of the wind calling the shots, and right now, it's not playing ball.
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. 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.
