The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wetsuit and listen up – Rusty here with the outlook for El Muelle.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, we are really struggling. The pattern is just not working in our favor. The entire 16-day window is essentially a flat, windy, and choppy mess. There’s no point sugar-coating it; the forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" for every single session. That’s a brutal blank run from today, right the way through to the end.
Let’s break it down. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to Thursday, August 13th, the combined swell energy is consistently weak to moderate – you’re looking at values between 103 and 287, which is just enough to keep the water moving but offers nothing with any real push. Swell heights bounce around a tiny 2 ft to 5 ft, and those are mostly short-period windswells of 6 to 8 seconds. There's no groundswell, no proper lines to get excited about.
The biggest killer is the wind. It’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the north and NNE nearly the entire time, at 12 to 19 mph. On Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, it gets a bit cross-on which only makes the surface choppier. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you’ll be battling a moderate to fresh breeze all session, so you won’t be feeling it.
With the swell so weak and the wind so ugly, and El Muelle being a reef-and-point break, it's not even worth paddling out. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a proper surf, but even then it’s marginal.
There are absolutely no standouts. This is one of those stretches where you save the wax for another week. Forecasts can change, but right now? It’s a big fat zero.
Rusty.

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.
