The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for El Lloret over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you—this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but for the first ten days or so, we’re sitting on a whole lot of nothing. Wednesday the 19th through to Monday the 31st of August, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with onshore winds and messy, choppy lines. You'd be fighting a losing battle. The swell is there, but it’s wind-affected and crummy. The combined energy is moderate at times (245 to 432), but it’s all windswell with short periods (6 to 8 seconds), and that onshore breeze just wrecks any chance of a decent wave. Not worth paddling out.
The first hint of something better shows up on Tuesday the 1st of September. We get a shift in swell direction to NNW, and the period jumps to 13 seconds—that’s proper groundswell. There’s a moderate amount of energy (496 to 673) and it’s still cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect. But you can see things are changing. That longer period will bring more shape and push.
Now, if you’re looking for the standout, you’ve got to circle Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning session sees a 7 ft N swell with a 12-second period, and the energy rockets up to 1151—that’s strong, powerful groundswell. The wind is onshore, so it’s not glassy, but the power is there. This is a reef break that loves a NNW optimum direction, and we’ve got N swell, so it’s in the ballpark. That afternoon drops to 4 ft, but with a 12-second period and a gentle cross-onshore breeze, it’s at least rideable (score of 1). For this whole forecast, that Wednesday is the best you’re gonna get. It’s a long-range call, so the confidence is lower, but the potential is real. This is expert territory with the size and power.
Overall, this is a blank run for the most part. It’s just one of those patterns where the wind doesn’t play nice. But that first week of September shows a pulse, and if the wind shifts just a touch, we could be in for a treat. Keep an eye on it.
Stay wet,
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.
