Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for El Mongol.
Honestly, grab a coffee, because we’re in for a flat spell first. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and there’s not a single wave worth paddling for. From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 19th, it’s just small, weak, and poor. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th, but the swell is barely 1ft, so it’s more of a lake than a surf break. The combined energy sits between 9 and 152 (weak to moderate), but none of it amounts to anything rideable. Waste of wax.
The real story starts to shift on Monday the 20th. That morning we see a 5ft northwest swell sneaking in, combined energy up to 242 (moderate), but it’s still a bit ordinary. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are messy and unrefined. By the afternoon, the swell bumps to 6ft but the wind swings onshore, so it’s choppy and not worth your time.
Then comes the standout. Tuesday the 21st morning. This is the one to circle. El Mongol gets a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 1668 (strong). That’s a serious pulse of energy. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be buttery smooth. This is excellent surf, but make no mistake – at 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. Beginners, stay on the beach. The break is a consistent reef, and it’s fairly exposed, so it’ll handle that NNW swell well. Crowds are often here, so expect company. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no worries there.
Wednesday the 22nd still has some size, with 7ft in the morning, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a bit grovelly. The energy drops to 843 (moderate). Thursday the 23rd sees it fade to 4ft with glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s ordinary. After that, the swell fizzles out fast, dropping back to nothing by Friday the 24th and through the weekend.
So, if you’re looking for the best bet, it’s Tuesday the 21st morning. Get there early, bring your big board, and be ready for a proper session. The rest of the window is either flat or junk.
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.
