The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening with the waves over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent. We’ve got a gap of 16 days with no real surf to speak of. The only spot on the radar is El Muelle, a reef and point break that can handle a bit of swell, but the conditions just aren’t lining up.
From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Sunday the 16th of August, it’s a constant story of onshore wind. Morning and afternoon, day after day, the wind is blowing from the north or north-northeast, right onto the beach. This is killing any chance of clean waves. The swell is small, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, and coming from the north or north-northwest. The periods are short, between 6 and 10 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly stuff. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low to moderate range, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
There’s a slight bump in size around the 13th and 14th of August, with waves pushing 5 ft, but the wind is still blowing 15-19 mph onshore. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess. That’s really only interesting if you’re a kite surfer, not a paddle surfer.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast is just a dead zone. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, you’re better off leaving the boards in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
