The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at El Mongol for the next couple of weeks.
First off, don’t get your hopes up for the first few days. We’re lookin’ at a dry spell of about four days where the surf is just too small and sloppy to bother with. The water is 71°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than it usually is this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
The one real standout is Monday, July 27th. Monday morning, it all comes together. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period, and the energy is solid at 749 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light, glassy offshore from the ENE, so you’re looking at pure, clean lines. That’s the best call of the whole forecast. Tuesday the 28th is still decent with a 4ft NNW swell, a 10-second period, and clean cross-off winds again, making for a good follow-up session.
After that, it’s mostly downhill. The 29th and 30th have some wave height but the wind is onshore or messy. The 30th morning is glassy but the swell is too small to get excited about. From the 31st of July all the way through to the 7th of August, it’s a long run of tiny, weak, or wind-blown slop. There’s a little bump on the 2nd of August with 4ft from the NW and glassy conditions, but it’s only ordinary and the 8-second period doesn’t have the same push.
So, the bottom line is: mark your calendar for Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s your window. Everything else is just a waiting game.

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.
El Mongol is 2 km (1 miles) from Gijon. If you plan a holiday in Asturias, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gijon. Gijon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
