The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the same charts and it’s a proper lull, no two ways about it. The only break in the picture is El Muelle, a reef and point that’s consistent, but the whole 16-day window is a washout. Every single session in the data shows “poor surf conditions,” so there’s no day to get stoked on. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Kicking off from Thursday, August 27th, it’s a rough start. Onshore winds from the NNE at 15 to 19 mph, with swell heights of 1 ft to 3 ft, and real short periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, around 28 to 54. It’s messy. Into Friday 28th and Saturday 29th, we get a bit more size – 5 ft to 6 ft – but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE at 19 to 22 mph, and the period is still short on Friday, though Saturday sees it hit 11 seconds. The energy picks up to moderate (160 to 766), but the wind keeps it lumpy and poor. Sunday 30th and Monday 31st have onshore winds, but the swell drops to 4 ft to 5 ft, and the energy is back to weak (161 to 354). No good.
The second week is no better. From Tuesday, September 1st to Friday, September 4th, it’s onshore and cross-onshore winds, swells of 3 ft to 5 ft, short period, and energy from 109 to 228. By Saturday 5th, the swell fades to 3 ft, with energy at 96. Sunday 6th and Monday 7th have a longer period of 11 to 13 seconds, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. The energy is moderate (173 to 199), but the size is just not there. Right at the end, around Wednesday 9th to Friday 11th September, there’s a small spike: on Wednesday 9th morning, a 2 ft swell with a very long 13-second period from the NNW and a light onshore breeze at 6 mph, giving an energy of 417. Thursday 10th morning has a 5 ft swell from the N with an 11-second period and a gentle breeze, energy at 596. Friday 11th morning also has a 5 ft swell from the N, but with a shorter 8-second period and a light breeze. Still, even with these, the conditions are poor, and the wind never goes offshore.
The bottom line is a long stretch of days with no surf worth mentioning. For kite surfers, those strong onshore winds and moderate swell could be a go, but for paddle surfing, it’s a dead zone. This area can have these quiet runs, so it’s not a surprise, but it’s still a bummer. Let’s hope the forecast flips, because right now, there’s nothing to chase.

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 Muelle 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.
