Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for El Mongol. I gotta be straight with you, it’s looking pretty flat and disappointing for a while.
The first solid bit of surf we might see isn’t until Monday, July 20th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. Before that, we’re looking at a solid ten-day stretch of nothing but tiny, weak waves. The swell energy is mostly in the double digits, barely enough to get a foamy rolling, so it's gonna be a long wait.
The first chance you get is on the morning of Monday, July 20th. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 121. What makes it interesting is the glassy conditions – that’s the only reason to even consider paddling out. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 67°F.
That same small 3ft NW swell hangs around for Tuesday, July 21st morning too. Again, glassy conditions make it clean, with energy rating around 129. It’s surfable, but only just.
Beyond that, there’s nothing else that’s worth getting out of bed for. A few days of similar 3ft or smaller swells pop up, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a proper wave.
So, to sum it up for El Mongol: we’ve got a long, dry spell starting now, right up until Monday, July 20th. If you’re desperate, the mornings of the 20th and 21st are your only real shots, but keep your expectations low. It’s a reef break, fairly exposed to the swell, and it can get consistent, but these swells are just too small and weak to do anything with.
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.
