The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at El Mongol over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The surf through Wednesday and Thursday of this week is pretty ordinary, with weak, short-period windswell and poor conditions. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath already.
The first real light at the end of the tunnel hits Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming through – a 6ft swell from the NNW, with a nice 10-second period, pushing the combined energy up to 631 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. That’s the standout of the first week. Tuesday morning, the 28th, looks just as clean with a similar 4ft swell from the same direction, though the energy drops a touch (373). Monday morning is the pick.
After that, we hit a bit of a lull. The end of July and the start of August are mostly small, onshore, and messy. There are a few glassy mornings on the 30th and 1st of August, but the waves are only around 3ft – surfable for a longboard or a sneaky dawn session, but nothing to get excited about.
Now, there’s a promising run shaping up for the second week. Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, sees a solid 5ft groundswell from the NW with a 10-second period, and the energy is strong at 470. The wind is glassy from the NNW – that’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. The following morning, Wednesday the 5th, is also glassy with a 5ft swell from the NW (416 energy). Then, Thursday morning the 6th, the wind goes completely calm – glassy as it gets – with a 4ft NNW swell and a 10-second period, delivering 284 energy. That Thursday morning glass-off is a beauty on paper, but remember, this is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
For you beginners, that 6ft swell on Monday the 27th might be a bit of a push, and the 5ft on the 4th of August is getting into the intermediate zone. The smaller, glassy mornings around 3ft to 5ft early in August will be your best bet for a less intimidating paddle.
If you’re looking to get out, aim for the morning sessions. The afternoons consistently get a bit of a bump in the wind at El Mongol.
Stay stoked, and keep your eyes on that early August window.

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.
