Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this spot.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty flat and frustrating start for the next week and a half. We're looking at a long, empty stretch from Wednesday the 8th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 16th. That’s over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the periods are short and weak, so don't even bother getting your hopes up. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of that time too, just making a mess of what little bump there is.
Now, things *start* to look a bit more interesting as we head into the second week, but it's a slow build. On Thursday the 16th of July, we finally see the swell nudge up to about 4 ft from the North, but it's still a short-period 6 seconds and the wind is a stiff 18-22 mph from the NNE. It's not clean, it's not powerful, and it's really just a sign that the ocean is waking up.
The real standout, and the only time I'd truly recommend waxing the board, comes later in the period. Look at the 23rd of July – Thursday. The swell builds to a solid 6 ft from the North, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a proper groundswell starting to push through, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 466, which is a big jump from the weak numbers we've been seeing. The only catch is the wind; it's forecast to be a fresh 18-19 mph from the North and NNE, which is onshore. It won't be perfect, glassy conditions, but there's enough push in that swell to make for some punchy, hollow waves at the reef and point setup at El Muelle.
Considering the whole 16-day window, the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July is the clear winner. It's the most powerful swell we get, and while the wind isn't ideal, it's the best trade-off we have. Just be aware that with solid surf and an onshore breeze, it could get a bit lumpy and challenging. This one is for the intermediate crew who know how to handle a bit of chop.
Stay patient, keep an eye on that date, and we'll see what the ocean serves up.
Rusty.

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 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. 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.
