The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on what's cookin' for our local stretch.
The short version? This is a tough run. For the next couple of weeks, we're staring down a persistent run of onshore winds that are just wrecking what could be some decent swell.
Let's start with the only game in town, El Lloret. It's a consistent reef break, which means it picks up a fair bit, but the wind has been a real pest. This entire outlook is a tale of wind ruining the party. From Tuesday the 25th of August right through to the first week of September, we've got a steady diet of north to north-northeast breezes blowing right onto the face. Even when the swell tries to build, the conditions are just "poor surf conditions" with moderate breezes making for a choppy, bumpy mess. The wave energy is moderate, with values in the hundreds. On Saturday the 29th, we see a pulse of long-period swell from the NNW hitting 5 ft, but it is blown out by a 12 mph onshore breeze.
There’s a glimmer of hope right at the very end. On Monday, the 7th of September, we get a tiny spike of 2 ft but from the WNW with a massive 19-second period. That’s a seriously long groundswell, but it’s buried under a pile of onshore junk. The real standout might be Wednesday, the 9th of September. The swell bumps up to 7 ft from the NNE with a solid 8-second period, giving us strong energy. But again, it's hammered by a 12 mph onshore northerly. For a reef break like El Lloret, that kind of onshore wind means it's going to be a messy, challenging paddle. If you're an expert, this is the best size on offer, but you'll be battling the chop.
Overall, I'd say don't get your hopes up for clean, perfect waves. The first two weeks are a write-off for quality. The best bet for bigger, powerful waves is the standout on September 9th, but it's strictly for those who don't mind ugly conditions. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite session than a traditional paddle surf. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay poor forever.

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.

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.
