The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day picture for the region.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We’ve got a long stretch of small, choppy, and generally poor surf conditions ahead. The first recommendation doesn't pop up until the morning of Monday, 14 September, so you’re looking at a solid gap of nearly 11 days with nothing worth paddling out for. After that, there’s a flicker of hope, but it’s a very mixed bag.
The only spot that gets a nod is El Muelle, a reef and point set-up. The water here is sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The very first sign of anything surfable comes on Monday the 14th in the morning. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with the wind swinging light from the ENE. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the north, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak and won't have much push. The combined energy is a low 118 (moderate), and the waves are described as "surfable but very ordinary." It’s not a standout, but it’s the only window of clean conditions in the whole outlook.
The rest of the period is a write-off. The wind is almost always cross-on, onshore, or just too strong, mixing up the surface. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods. The only real change comes in the second week, around the 16th and 17th, when the swell period jumps to 15 and 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell coming from the NW, which is a good direction for El Muelle. The wave energy spikes to 425 and 401 (strong), but the wind is still cross-on or onshore, making it messy. The swell height is only 3 ft to 3 ft, so the long period won't save it from the chop.
Forget about any standouts here. If you’re desperate for a paddle on the 14th morning, you might get a few weak, clean little waves to yourself. But honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the combination of strong wind and onshore conditions on several days.
Signing off, 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.

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.
