The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, translating the numbers for the imperial crew. This is a quiet forecast for El Mongol, plain and simple. There’s a long gap with nothing to ride – better to stay home for a while.
Water temp is 69°, a touch warmer than usual, so that’s one good thing.
The only window that matters is Monday morning, July 20th. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NNE with a 7-second period. The energy is moderate at 282. Light cross-off winds from the ENE will keep the surface clean. It’s a wave you can actually surf after a long flat spell. The 6ft is solid for intermediates, but beginners might find it a handful. The period is short, so expect a steeper, faster wave without a lot of push.
Tuesday morning, July 21st sees a smaller 5ft from the same direction, energy drops to 181, still clean but pretty average.
So really, that Monday the 20th morning is your only play. Crowds are common here, so expect company. After that, the forecast fades back into tiny stuff with onshore winds and long periods of waiting for something real. The last few days of July show some NW swell, but the wind is bad for it – cross-on or onshore making it choppy. Not worth chasing.
Keep the stick waxed, good things might pop up.
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.
