The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Mongol.
Straight up, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking grim. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.
We start off on Wednesday, July 29th, with a weak 3 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is on it and the surf is just poor. The combined energy is only 170 (moderate), but it’s not doing anything for us. Thursday and Friday are even smaller, with the swell dropping to 2 ft and 1.6 ft. The energy dips right down into the double digits (38 to 42). Friday morning, July 31st, does see a moment of glassy conditions, but there’s no wave to surf.
The entire first week is a bust. We get a few glassy and clean mornings, but the swell is almost non-existent, barely scraping 1.6 ft. The energy is weak, below 100 for most of it. The water temp is 68.9°, which is about normal for the time of year.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the end of the forecast. On Sunday, August 9th, the afternoon shows a bump in swell to 4.3 ft from the NW, with the combined energy jumping to 261 (moderate). The problem is the wind is onshore from the NW, making for poor surf. Monday, August 10th, is similar, with 4.3 ft from the NNW and onshore wind. The energy is 265 (moderate). This is a raw, junky swell that’s not going to be clean.
Nothing in this entire outlook is a standout. The waves are too small for too long, and when a little bump finally arrives, the wind ruins it. The setup here is a reef, but with the onshore winds, it’s going to be a messy, choppy mess.
If you’re a kite surfer, the days with the 4.3 ft swell and the onshore wind on August 9th and 10th might have some interest. For paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast.

Information about the El Mongol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Mongol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Mongol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Mongol surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (El Mongol) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Mongol 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.
