The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Muelle.
Alright, straight up – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a tough watch. The swell is there, but the wind is just not playing ball. For the first week, from July 14th right through to July 20th, we’ve got a classic onshore wind pattern, mostly from the north and north-northeast, and it’s blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s going to keep the sea messy and choppy. The swell is small, mostly between 1 ft and 4 ft, and the period is short, around 6 to 9 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-affected junk. The combined energy is low to moderate, ranging from 50 to 134 (weak to moderate). Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
The second week doesn’t get much better, I’m sorry to say. From July 21st to July 29th, the swell bumps up a bit, with heights reaching 4 ft to 5 ft, and the period stretches to 7 or 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the moderate to strong range, hitting 177 to 427 (moderate to strong). That sounds promising, but the wind is still blowing onshore, mostly from the north at 15 to 19 mph. The waves will be lumpy, closed out, and just not fun. The swell direction is mostly from the north, which is the optimum swell direction for El Muelle, a reef and point break, so it’s a shame the wind is ruining it. The best day on paper might be July 25th afternoon, with 5 ft north swell at 8 seconds and a combined energy of 351 (moderate), but with a moderate north breeze, it’s still going to be a bumpy, onshore mess. For beginners, anything over 5 ft is too big, and while this stays under 8 ft, the conditions are still poor for everyone.
Overall, there’s no standout session in the 16-day window. The consistent onshore wind kills it. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup from July 21st onwards with bigger swell and strong onshore wind might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.

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.
