The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for El Lloret, imperial style.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the outlook for this stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long run of days ahead where the conditions just aren't playing ball. For the entire 16-day window, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, so I can’t honestly point to any standout day as the one.
Starting from Wednesday the 29th of July, the swell is coming in from the NNE at about 4.3ft but with a short, weak period of only 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 146 (weak). The wind is a cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph, which is making things choppy. Water temp is running at 74°, about 1.8° warmer than usual for this time – a bit of a warm blanket, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The pattern stays pretty locked in for the next week or so. The swell bumps up a touch, hitting around 5.6ft to 6.2ft by the 5th and 6th of August, with moderate energy readings going from 277 up to 446. But the wind stays stubborn. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the N and NNE at 9 to 16 mph, and the period barely climbs above 7 seconds. That combo is just going to keep things messy and gutless. For a reef break that needs a clean line, this is frustrating.
By the second week – around the 9th and 10th of August – the swell holds at 6.6ft from the NNE, with energy jumping up to 494 (still just moderate), but the wind stiffens to 16–19 mph onshore. That’s too much chop. At 6.6ft, it’s also getting a bit sizey for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s the wind that kills it. The period is still short (7–8 seconds), so there’s no real power behind it.
For the whole 16 days, there’s just no window where the stars align. The best bet would be if a freak lull happens or the wind shifts, but based on what’s in front of us, we’re looking at a blank run. Given this area isn’t a consistent machine, it’s not unusual to see a stretch like this. Keep the board waxed and watch the sky – it won’t stay flat forever.

Information about the El Lloret Surf forecast

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.
