The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for El Muelle over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – I’ve got to be honest with you, there’s not a single good surf session in this entire 16-day window. The forecast is a long run of poor surf conditions, and I can’t recommend any of it. That’s a bummer, but don’t lose hope – El Muelle is a consistent reef-and-point break that usually delivers, so this kind of blank run is a bit unusual. The forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.

The main problem is the wind. This spot loves a south offshore, but every day we’ve got wind blowing from the north-northeast, north, or north-northwest – that’s onshore or cross-onshore for most of the period. The swell is coming from the north and north-northeast, which isn’t the optimum northwest direction either. The set waves are mostly around 3ft to 5ft, with a short period of 6–8 seconds – weak, choppy energy. Even on the 26th of July, when the swell bumps up to 7ft from the north-northeast with a better 9-second period and the combined energy hits 761 (moderate to strong), the wind is still howling onshore at 15–22 mph, so it’s just messy. The water temperature is 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3° above average – but that’s the only bright spot.

There’s no day that stands out. The nearest thing to a possible window might be around the 29th of July when the wind drops to 12 mph, but it’s still onshore and the swell is small. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, you could try the early mornings when the breeze is a little lighter, but the quality will be poor. This setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the onshore wind and consistent swell energy would give you something to work with. But for a clean surf session? Not happening. Hold tight, keep an eye on the forecasts, and maybe the next run will bring that south offshore we’re dreaming of.

Rusty.

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.
