Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days.
It’s a pretty grim stretch for El Muelle, I’m not gonna lie. The swell is coming – and it builds quite a bit – but the wind is just a constant problem. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window where the surf just isn't worth paddling out for. It’s a real bummer.
The forecast is basically a long run of “poor surf conditions” from the get-go. The wind is either offshore, cross-onshore, or onshore, but it’s almost always strong enough to mess things up. Even when the swell starts to climb, the breeze is blowing 15 mph to 19 mph, turning what could be a decent wave into a mess. Don’t get your hopes up for a clean session.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 73°F.
For the first week, the swell is small. You’re looking at 1 ft to 4 ft from the NW and NNW, with periods around 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, around 56 to 162. It’s not enough to get excited about even if the wind was good, which it isn’t.
From the 19th of July onwards, the swell gets a bit more serious. We see heights climb to 5 ft to 6 ft from the N, with periods staying short at 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy hits moderate to strong levels, up to 405. But here’s the kicker: the wind is howling out of the N and NNE at 19 mph. It’s onshore, which means blown-out, choppy conditions. That combo is a no-go. For a reef and point like El Muelle, the swell direction from the N is not what it loves, and the short period won’t help.
There is no standout in this entire forecast. The only thing that pops is the size of the swell in the second week, but the wind ruins it. If you’re desperate, you could look at the 26th of July when the swell drops to 3 ft and the wind eases to 12 mph from the N, but it’s still onshore and the energy is weak. Honestly, it’s a blank run. Don’t bother.
Rusty.

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.
