Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s ahead for El Muelle.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat start. From Monday July 6th all the way through to Saturday July 18th, you’re looking at nearly two weeks of barely any surf. Waves are small – waist high or less – with short periods, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The combined swell energy stays low, mostly in the double digits (weak), and only occasionally bumps into the low hundreds (moderate). No session in that whole stretch gets a recommendation. You could leave the board at home.
The water temp at the start is 72.3°, which is about 2.3° warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a warm bath.
The only real hope shows up on Sunday July 19th. That morning a swell pushes in – 5.6ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds. Combined energy hits 577 (strong). The wind is light NNW at 9 mph, which is offshore for El Muelle, so it should be clean. By the afternoon it holds at 5.9ft but the wind swings north at 15 mph and goes onshore, so get out early.
Monday July 20th morning brings another solid pulse – 6.2ft from the north, 10-second period, combined energy at 705 (very strong). Again, light offshore NNW wind at 9 mph. That’s a nice groundswell for the reef-and-point setup, but at that size it’s for experienced surfers only – not for beginners.
Across the whole run, even the bigger days are flagged as poor surf conditions, so temper expectations. Still, Sunday morning the 19th is your standout: first real swell, light offshore wind, decent energy. Monday morning the 20th is a close second.
Crowds can pop up at El Muelle, but after two flat weeks, everyone will be itching for that Sunday session.
That’s the story. Hang in there.

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.
