Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at El Muelle. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at a real long dry spell from now, all the way through to the end of the forecast. There’s not a single morning or afternoon session I’d get excited about. The combined swell energy stays weak, barely cracking into three-digit numbers on a couple of afternoons (273 early on the 14th of July is the highest it gets), but the wind just won’t play ball.
Right off the bat, Saturday the 4th of July is a no-go. Swell is tiny at 3 ft from the N, but it’s being hammered by a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph, making for choppy, poor surf. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th don’t get any better – the swell drops, and the wind stays messy. By Tuesday the 7th, we’re down to 2 ft with a pathetic 7-second period from the N; the combined energy is only 44 – barely a ripple. That pattern just locks in day after day: small, onshore, and choppy.
The best-looking stretch on paper is around the 14th and 15th of July. On Tuesday the 14th, the morning shows 4 ft from the N with a 9-second period, and energy bumps up to 273 – that’s the most grunt we’ll see. Wind is onshore though, so it won’t be clean. The 15th has a similar story with 4 ft from the N, but again, onshore wind ruins it. That little push is too small to be dangerous for anyone, but the quality just isn’t there.
Even when we get a few days with onshore winds and a bit more size around the 17th and 18th of July (4 to 5 ft from the N), the period is short (7 to 8 seconds) and the wind is up. It’s all poor surf conditions, every single session. There is no standout moment, no clean glassy window, and no day where the swell and wind line up. My advice? Don’t bother paddling out for a session. With the consistent onshore flow and small, short-period swell, this stretch looks more interesting for the kite crew than anyone with a paddle. Hang tight and check back in with me next week.
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.
