The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break this down for you. We’re looking at a long, dry spell on the surf front—nothing really worth getting excited about for the next 16 days. The whole outlook runs from now through the end of July with no real windows of decent surf. That’s a blank run that’s going to test your patience.
The only break we’ve got to talk about is El Muelle, a reef and point setup that’s usually reliable. The water’s running about 74°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for July, so that’s something. But the wind is the killer here. It’s blowing from the north and northeast, onshore and cross-onshore the whole time. That means choppy, messy conditions every day.
The swell stays small and weak for the first week—heights between 1 ft and 4 ft, with periods around 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is low, never cracking 200 in that first week. There’s a bit of a build after the 22nd of July, with swell heights reaching 5 ft and periods stretching to 8 seconds. The energy moves into the moderate range, hitting the 200s and even 260s by the 30th. But it’s all blown out by the onshore wind. At those heights and that wind, with a beach and point setup, it looks more like a kite surfer’s zone than a paddle surfer’s.
Into the second week, nothing changes. Swell stays around 3 ft to 5 ft, periods at 7 to 8 seconds, but that wind keeps coming from the north and north-northeast. The energy is moderate, but the quality is garbage. It’s poor conditions all the way through.
So what’s the best on offer? There isn’t one. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is steady, but steady in a bad way. If you absolutely need to get wet, the last few days of July might give you the most push, but don’t expect anything clean.
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.
