The Lowdown

Gutted, folks. I’ve been staring at the charts for El Muelle, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window here, and there’s just nothing on the menu that’s worth paddling out for. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves. The forecast is pretty much a flat, wind-blown mess.

The swell energy is weak the entire time. We’re looking at combined energy values in the low hundreds for the most part – a few days nudge up to the 200s in the middle of the week, but it’s all short-period, windswell junk. The period is stuck between 6 and 9 seconds, so it’s all choppy, disorganized, and lacking any real push. The swell direction is straight out of the north, which is right on the nose for El Muelle. Add in a constant onshore wind, and you’ve got a recipe for nothing but closeouts and whitewash.

The only spot we’ve got is El Muelle, a reef and point break that’s usually pretty consistent. But with this combination of weak, short-period swell and steady north winds, it’s just not going to work. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s nothing special.

Looking at the first week, from August 8th through the 14th, the surf is in the 3ft to 4ft range, with the period never getting above 8 seconds. It’s poor conditions every day. The winds are 12 to 19 mph and onshore. It’s just messy.

The second week, from August 15th to the 23rd, shapes up a little different but not any better. There’s a slight bump mid-week, with the swell getting up to 5ft on the morning of the 15th and energy climbing to 271, but it’s still all short-period, and the wind is still howling onshore. By the 20th, the swell drops back down to 3ft and stays weak. The period finally stretches out to 9 seconds by the 21st, but by then the swell is too small to do anything with it. It’s a long, barren run.

Honestly, if you’re looking for something to ride, this whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. There’s just no quality to be found. Sometimes this area just goes blank like this, and with a spot as consistent as El Muelle, it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts change. But as it stands, stay home and wax your board for another day.

Information about the El Muelle Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for El Muelle provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Muelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Muelle 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 Muelle) 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 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.
