The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a tough one for us. We’re looking at a real dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for until around the 21st of August. From the 7th through to the 20th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is just weak. There are a few glassy mornings on the 9th and 15th, but the waves are too small and weak to get excited about. It’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’ll have to be patient.

The one bright spot, and it’s a proper standout, is El Mongol. This reef break is fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent. The wait is worth it. On Friday morning, the 21st of August, we finally see some life. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 514 (moderate to strong energy). What’s even better is the wind is glassy, offshore from the ENE, so the lineup will be clean. That’s the session to circle on your calendar. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 71°, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The 22nd of August, Saturday morning, is also a good shout. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft from the NNW, but it’s still got decent energy (401) and the morning is glassy. It’s a solid follow-up to the day before. The afternoons on both days get a bit cross-onshore, so the mornings are the go.

A couple of caveats: the swell on the 21st is 6 ft, so it’s getting a bit solid for beginners, and the period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell, which can be a bit more crumbly and less powerful than a long-period groundswell. Still, with glassy conditions and a consistent break, it’s the best we’ve got.

So, to sum it up: a long, quiet start, then a proper looking weekend on the 21st and 22nd. Don’t sleep on those Friday morning sessions.

Rusty.

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.
