The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's get into it. This is Rusty, looking at what we've got on the cards for El Mongol.
Right off the bat, the first week or so is looking pretty quiet. We've got a run of small, weak waves with poor conditions, so don't expect much action until we get into the second week of the forecast. The first real standout is a narrow window on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. It's not huge, but it's the best we'll see for a while. The swell is around 4.3ft from the NNW with a clean 10-second period, and the water temp is sitting at 68.7° with a normal anomaly for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, so the surf will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (371). It's a consistent reef break, so expect some waves. It's often crowded, so you'll have company. This is a solid intermediate option.
After that, the surf drops off into a real lull. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the 5th of August, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and conditions are either poor or just not worth paddling out for. There's a lot of onshore wind and very little energy. You'll be sitting on your board for a long time for a small, weak wave.
Then things get interesting. On the morning of August 7th, we get a real spike. The swell jumps to 7.2ft from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong (732). The wind is glassy, dead calm. That's a recipe for a very good surf session. The only catch is that at 7.2ft, it's in that expert zone, so this is not a beginner's day. The break is a reef, so it will handle the size well, but don't expect it to be empty; it's likely to be crowded.
The morning of August 8th is a bit smaller at 4.6ft from the NNW (218 energy) with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but it's a step down from the day before. The real standout is definitely that Friday morning, August 7th. That's the day to circle on your calendar.
After that, the swell fades out again into the doldrums for the rest of the forecast period. It's a bit of a tease, but that one morning of glassy 7.2ft surf is a proper reward for the wait.
Stay safe out there.

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.
