The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what El Lloret’s got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
The honest truth is, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run has got no surf worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a blank period right the way through. The wind is pretty much always on it or cross-onshore, and the wave state just isn’t there. When the swell does show up, it’s messy with that NNE wind ruining the shape. No one spot is breaking consistently enough to get excited about. It’s just one of those quiet spells for the area.
There isn’t a single standout session in the lot. The first real pulse of swell sits around Sunday the 23rd of August, with a 3ft to 4ft north swell showing up around 10 to 14 seconds, but the north wind is straight on it at 6 to 9 mph. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (267-660), and it’s all scored as poor. Even with that long-period groundswell on Sunday afternoon, it’s not enough to overcome the wind.
The middle of the week from the 24th to the 27th sees similar northerly swell, bumping up to 6ft on Monday morning (24th), but again, the NNE wind at 9 to 12 mph kills any chance of clean waves. The energy still reads moderate (897), but it’s all wind-affected. It stays poor right through.
Then by Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, the wind picks up to 16 mph, going cross-onshore, and the swell hits 6ft to 8ft. The energy is solid (307-762), but with that wind, this is strictly for kite surfers, not paddling. The wave comment even says “moderate cross-onshore and choppy.” That’s a no-go for a clean ride.
The following week gets a little more consistent with swell in the 5ft to 8ft range, but the problem stays the same—onshore winds and short, choppy periods (mostly 7-8 seconds). On Saturday the 5th of September there is a 8ft NE swell with decent energy (623), but it’s still onshore and short-period. The second week just doesn’t offer an improvement.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual reported.
So, to put it bluntly, there’s no surf on offer. The board stays in the car. Forecasts can flip, but as it stands, this is a proper quiet run for El Lloret.

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.
