The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer at El Muelle over the next sixteen days.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. Right through the first week and into the second, the surf is just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real quality on the cards. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period, choppy, and messy. Combined wave energy is moderate at best, hitting 373 early on, but it’s not translating into anything rideable.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday, September 14th. Even then, it’s only rated as marginal. The morning of the 14th sees a little 4 ft swell from the north, with a period of 9 seconds, and light cross-onshore winds from the ENE at 6 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 309, but the conditions are still only borderline. This is a reef and point break, so the longer period (9 seconds) should help give it a bit of shape, but it’s not a standout.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 75°, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that screams “go.” The second week fades out even smaller, with swells dropping to 2 ft and 1 ft by the 16th. For a break that’s consistent and fairly exposed, this is a disappointing run. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 14th is the only window where you might find a few crumbly waves, but don’t expect much. It’s a waiting game, and forecasts can change.
Stay patient.
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. If you surf the same spot (El Muelle) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
