The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Well, I’ve scoured the charts for the next 16 days and, to be honest, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for El Muelle. This is a reef and point setup that picks up swell from the north-northwest, and while it’s a consistent spot, the conditions just aren’t lining up. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But from the start of August right through to the 17th, every single entry is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, with values like 109, 128, and 146, barely getting into the moderate range, and the swell height never gets above 5 ft. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, often 12 to 19 mph, which means choppy, messy lines. It’s a run of flat, blown-out days.
There are no standouts. The best we see is on the morning of August 16th, with a 5 ft swell from the north-northeast at 8 seconds—short period, onshore wind, still poor. The energy climbs to 246 by then, but it’s all for nothing with the wind. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through this whole window. If you’re a surfer, you’ll want to wait for a change in the pattern.
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.

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.
