Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming.
We’re staring down a long, flat start. Nothing worth chasing right now—tiny waves and messy wind. This dead patch runs from today all the way through the weekend of the 19th. Over a week of zilch.
First sign of life shows up on Saturday the 20th of July at El Muelle. This is a reef and point break, so it can handle a bit of weight, and it’s consistent. Swell builds to 6ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds—solid groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong, hitting 588. Water temp is 72°, right on average for the season. Wind is blowing onshore from the north at 15 mph, so the surface won’t be glassy, but it’s rideable. The optimum direction is NNW, and we’re getting straight north, so it’s close but not perfect.
Sunday the 21st of July drops back to 4ft north swell, same 9-second period. Energy fades to 287. Onshore wind continues.
The standout window is the 25th and 26th of July. Saturday the 25th pumps up to 7ft from the north, 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 616 (strong). That’s serious size. The wind turns cross-onshore from the NNE at 15 mph, so it’ll be bumpy. At that size, it’s for experienced surfers only—7ft is no joke for beginners. Sunday the 26th holds at 6ft, same direction, still onshore wind. Plenty of power, but don’t expect a smooth face.
So, if you’ve got patience, the 20th is your first chance to get back out. The 25th–26th brings the biggest swell, but expect choppy conditions. Choose your session wisely.

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.
