The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s be real—this is a tough 16-day stretch for El Muelle. It’s been a while since I’ve seen things this quiet.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, the wind is just relentless out of the north and north-northeast. It’s onshore almost the entire time, blowing at 15 to 22 mph, which is making a mess of things. The swell is coming from the north, but it’s short-period stuff—mostly 7 to 8 seconds—so it lacks any real power. Wave heights bob around 3 to 6 ft, but the quality is shot. The combined swell energy sits between 162 and 426 (moderate at its peak), but even when the size bumps up a little, the wind is just ruining it. Everything is tagged as "poor surf conditions."
There is no standout session here. Not one. The first real hope I can see comes right near the end of the outlook, on the morning of August 6th, but even then it’s only about 3 ft from the north with a tiny 6-second period, and the swell energy drops to just 99 (weak). The wind is still cross-onshore and lumpy. That’s a kite-surfing breeze, not a paddling one.
Water temperature is sitting around 73°F, which is only about 2°F above normal—pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, if you’re dead set on surfing, you’re looking at a long, blank 16-day window. For this area, that’s not totally unheard of when the trades lock in. Forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. I’d keep the board in the car just in case, but don’t hold your breath.
