Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it. I've looked over the charts for our area for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a long, flat spell to kick things off. The whole first week is a write-off. From Sunday the 5th right through to Saturday the 12th, there's barely a ripple worth paddling for. You'll be staring at a glassy lake, not a surfable wave. It's all small, weak, cross-shore junk, and the score is a flat zero across the board. Don't even bother waxing up.
We start to see a pulse of energy building from Sunday the 13th onwards at the El Muelle (reef and point). The swell's coming from the NNW initially, bumping up to about 3ft, but the wind is onshore and howling at 15 mph, so it's gonna be a messy, choppy mess. Not our time yet, mates.
Now, things get *interesting* towards the back half of the second week. The swell direction swings around to a clean N, and we get a solid run from Friday the 18th through Monday the 21st. The standout period is the Sunday the 20th. We're looking at a solid 5ft to 5ft of N swell, with a period around 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is really cranking, reading 335 to 419 (moderate to strong energy). That's proper punch for this spot. The only bad news is the wind is still on it, a fresh 19 to 22 mph from the N and NNE, so it's going to be a bumpy, blown-out ride. This is expert territory with that size and wind. Don't even think about taking a foamie out; 5ft with these winds is a beast, and the water temp is a comfortable 72° which is normal for this time of year.
If the wind magically drops, it could be an all-timer, but as it stands, the biggest surf of the window looks more like a kite-surfing session than a clean paddle session. It's a shame, because the swell has real grunt, but the ocean's not cooperating.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecast. It tends not to stay poor for long here. Rusty out.

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.
