The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the next 16 days for El Mongol.
First thing you need to know: the start of this period is a total write-off. No surf on offer at all. The first few days are just flat and weak, with tiny, messy swell and no energy. We’re talking a blank stretch from Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Sunday the 19th. That’s nearly a week of nothing worth paddling for. Don’t even bother checking the cam.
The first real sniff of anything comes on Monday the 20th. We get a small bump in the morning, with waves around 3ft from the north, period at 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (147). The wind is clean, cross-off from the east, so it’s not all bad. The setup is still pretty ordinary, but it’s surfable if you’re desperate. That afternoon, the swell drops right off again.
Tuesday the 21st sees a jump in size through the afternoon, with waves hitting 5ft from the northeast, but the period is short at 6 seconds and the energy is moderate (200). The wind stays cross-off, but the conditions are still being called poor. The wave quality isn’t there.
The following week has a few more glimmers. Thursday the 24th morning has a glassy start with 3ft swell from the northwest, period 7 seconds, and energy moderate (111). It’s another “surfable but very ordinary” call. The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Monday the 27th in the morning. We’ve got 3ft from the northwest, period 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (142). The wind is glassy. That’s about as clean as it gets here in this window. It’s still not pumping, but it’s the best on offer.
The very last day, Wednesday the 29th morning, also has a glassy start with 3ft from the northwest, period 9 seconds, and moderate energy (125). Again, surfable but not great.
Overall, this is a pretty lean run for El Mongol. The best mornings are the 24th, 27th, and 29th, but don’t expect any heroics. It’s a reef break, consistent, and the optimum swell direction is from the NNW. The swell we get is mostly from the north and northwest, so it’s in the right ballpark, but the size and period just aren’t there to make it fire. It’s a waiting game.
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.
