The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start for the next few days at El Mongol. The water is sitting at 70°F which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re heading in.
We’re essentially looking at a gap of poor conditions right through the end of the week. Friday the 24th, Saturday the 25th, and Sunday the 26th are all a write-off – tiny, weak swell with cross-onshore breezes. The combined energy is barely registering (34 to 116), and the wave quality is just not there. You’d be better off staying home.
Things start to look up on Monday the 27th. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore wind from the ENE and a solid 5ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 661 (moderate), the sets will have a bit of push, and with the wind cleaning it up, the reef at El Mongol should have some decent, workable lines. The afternoon holds up, but the wind picks up a touch, making the morning the clear call.
Then comes the standout window. Tuesday the 28th morning is looking bloody lovely. Glassy conditions, a light NE breeze, and a knee-to-waist high 4ft swell from the NNW with a clean 10-second period. The energy is solid (313), and it’s going to be smooth. If you can get out there, it’ll be a fun, uncrowded session.
Another big one to circle is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is glassy again with a 7ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy is pumping at 931 (strong), and it’s a long-period groundswell at 10 seconds. This is proper reef swell, and with no wind, it’s going to be epic – but heads up, at 7ft it’s getting into the zone for experienced surfers only. The Sunday before (2nd August) also has a solid 6ft clean morning with a cross-offshore breeze, making it a great warm-up for the Monday.
After that, things drop off again. The first week of August sees a return to small, weak surf and poor conditions. The 4th has a clean but small morning, and then it’s back to the doldrums from the 5th onwards. No real standout options in that second week.
So, the best on offer is Tuesday the 28th morning for some clean, fun, easy waves. But if you’re after the real punch, the morning of Monday the 3rd of August is the one to keep an eye on – it’s a long way out, so it’s promising but not a lock. Stay tuned.
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.
