The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way.
We’re looking at a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I’d say leave the sticks at home unless you’re desperate. The first worthwhile surf doesn’t even show up until Saturday morning, August 1st, and even then it’s barely a ripple. From now until then, it’s a complete blank—nothing but flat, messy, or just plain poor conditions. That’s a solid few days of nada.
The first glimmer of something rideable is at El Mongol on Saturday morning, August 1st. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the north, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate at 103, so it’s weak. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, which will keep it clean. The water temperature is 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s a reef break, consistent, so it’ll be breaking, but it’s really only for longboards or foils. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 2nd through to Tuesday the 11th of August is a long stretch of poor surf. You’ll see tiny waves, mostly 1.0ft to 2ft, with short periods and weak energy. The wind is often glassy or light, which is a tease, but the swell just isn’t there. The best of the worst is maybe Thursday morning, August 6th, with a 2ft swell from the NW and glassy conditions, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the energy is weak at 62. It’s just not enough.
There’s a subtle uptick on Tuesday afternoon, August 11th, when the combined energy hits 101 again, but it’s a 2ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period and onshore wind. The surf will be poor and lumpy.
Honestly, there’s no standout swell in this entire 16-day window. The biggest wave height we see is 3ft, and that’s with a poor wind and short period. Nothing is over 5ft, so it’s all beginner-friendly, but the quality is so low it’s hard to call it surfable. If you’re a kite surfer, the clean, light winds might be more interesting than the waves are for paddle surfing.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, 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.
