The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it’s been a tough stretch lately. We’ve got a blank run on our hands that stretches all the way from the start of this forecast right through the morning of Saturday, the 13th of September. The wind has been howling from the north and northeast, just ruining any chance of clean surf. The swell has been tiny and weak, with the combined energy barely cracking 100 at its best, but it’s all been junk.
Now, we finally get a little window. Sunday morning, the 13th of September, at El Muelle is the only thing really worth paddling out for. The wind goes glassy, I mean dead calm, and the water is a warm 75°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the warm side. The swell is a tiny 4ft from the north, with a short period of 8 seconds. It’s small, it’s weak, and the combined energy is a moderate 223, but it will be clean and ridable. The break is a consistent reef and point setup, so it’s your best bet for a few fun ones without the onshore chop. The optimum swell direction is from the NNW, and this north swell is close enough to keep things working. Expect the crowds to be there, though, as it’s often busy.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the period is a washout. The wind returns to the north and it’s onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell drops back to 2ft to 3ft. There’s nothing of note for the rest of the two weeks. The combined energy stays weak, mostly under 200, and the wave comments all say "poor surf conditions." The long-range stuff shows a bit of a long-period NW swell around the 20th of September, but the wind is still onshore, and the size is only 2ft, so it’s not going to save the day.
So, if you’re hanging for a paddle, Sunday morning is your only real shot. Punters and beginners might find the 4ft swell a bit much, but for the rest of us, it’s just about getting wet.
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.
