The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next 16 days at El Mongol. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of moments worth paddling for.
The first few days, from Sunday the 2nd of August through Tuesday the 5th, are dead flat. There’s hardly any energy, and the wind is all over the place. The water temp is right around 69°, which is about normal for the season.
We finally get a tiny pulse on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning shows a 2ft swell from the NW with glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (107). The afternoon picks up a bit to 3ft from the NW, still glassy, and the energy gets into the moderate range (150). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 6th of August is the one to focus on. The morning delivers a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze from the ENE at 10 km/h. The energy is solid in the moderate range (274). The forecast says “good surf conditions,” and this is the best we’ll see. The afternoon holds similar size at 4ft, but the energy backs off a touch (236). This is your window.
After that, it’s a big drop-off. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are flat and ugly, with tiny waves and no energy. There’s a little blip on Sunday the 9th with a clean 3ft swell from the NNW (125 energy), but the wind turns cross in the afternoon and ruins it. The next week is mostly a flat, boring stretch with very little to offer.
Looking into the long-range, the morning of Monday the 17th of August shows a promising spike, with a 4ft swell from the NNW and a period of 10 seconds. The energy jumps up to strong (373), but the wind is a light cross-onshore, which is a bit of a bummer. It’s a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s something to hope for.
So, the bottom line is that Thursday the 6th of August is your best bet. It’s the only day that’s really worth getting excited about. For beginners, the swell is under 5ft, so it’s fine. The rest of the time, you’re looking at a lot of flat, poor conditions. Keep an eye on that long-range spike.
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.
