Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Mongol over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for the El Mongol region.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is pretty flat. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that's just not going to get you excited. From now until around the 19th of July, the waves are small and the energy is low – we're talking combined swell energy values as low as 9 to 128, which is barely a ripple. Sure, there are a few glassy mornings on the 14th and the 16th, but with swell heights barely hitting 2 ft, it's more of a paddle than a surf. You could go for a float on a longboard, but don't expect much.
Then, things start to change. On the 20th of July, Monday afternoon, it starts to look interesting. The swell pushes up to 6 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 492. The wind swings around to a light cross-off from the NE, keeping the surface clean. That's the first real standout of the forecast. It's not perfect, but after a week of nothing, it’ll feel like a gift.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That’s the big one. We’ve got a 8 ft swell rolling in from the NW with a long period of 12 seconds. The combined swell energy is a massive 1522 – that's serious power. Now, that's a solid size, definitely expert territory and too big for beginners. The wind is onshore from the WNW, which is a bit of a bummer for perfect shape, but for a reef break like El Mongol that handles a bit of juice, it’s going to be a wild ride. The morning of the 25th is your best bet by far if you've got the skill.
In a nutshell, it’s a long wait of quiet, flat conditions, a modest little pulse on the 20th afternoon to wet your whistle, and then a proper, heavy swell on the 25th morning if you’re brave enough to tackle it.

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.
