The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks at El Muelle. I gotta be straight with you—this isn’t one of those classic, firing spells we dream about. The pattern is pretty flat and frustrating for most of the run. There's a big gap of poor to unsurfable conditions stretching from now right through until around the third week of September. The first half of the outlook is mostly a write-off, with mostly onshore winds and weak, short-period swell that’s just not doing the job.
Come the morning of Monday, 14th September, the swell drops right off to a tiny 2ft, though the period stretches out nicely to 13 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell signal, which is promising for El Muelle’s reef and point setup – those long lines will wrap in much better than at a beach break. The combined energy is still low, only 178 (weak to moderate energy), but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNE at 6 mph. The water temperature is sitting at a comfortable 75°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there, just a touch on the mild side.
The real standout appears much later. Looking all the way out to Saturday the 26th of September, we get a spike of proper energy. The swell jumps up to 4ft to 4ft from the NNW, with a period of 13 to 14 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell. The combined energy shoots up to 520 (strong wave energy) – that’s the biggest number we see. Now, the wind is still onshore from the N/NW at 16 mph, which is a pain, and it’s flagged as poor surf conditions. But the size and energy are there. This is a promising long-range signal, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it. If that wind swings, this is the best chance by far.
Overall, it’s a quiet outlook. The Saturday the 26th is the one to circle on the calendar. Don't get your hopes up for anything rideable before then.
Rusty.

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.
