The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk surf for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest, it’s not pretty. We’re looking at a long blank run before anything even worth mentioning pops up. The very first time you might want to paddle out isn’t until Monday the 14th of September, so you’ve got a full week of flat, crap conditions to get through.
Water’s sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually see around here.
The only spot on the cards is El Muelle, a reef and point break that’s pretty consistent. It faces mostly NNW. The one and only highlight is the morning of Monday the 14th. We’ll have a clean, glassy 3ft groundswell from the NNW, with a proper 13-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 255. That glassy, offshore wind is a game-changer. The wave is small, but with that long period, it’ll have real shape and pack a little punch on the point. It’s an intermediate wave, and it can draw a crowd, so get out there early if you want a piece. This is your best shot, and it’s not a big one.
After that, it’s back to the grind. The rest of the run is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with onshore or cross-onshore breezes making a mess of things. The energy readings drop off a cliff, down to just 73 on Tuesday the 22nd – that’s weak. The swell periods drop to 8 seconds or less, so it’s just choppy, unappealing windswell. For all intents and purposes, this looks like a kite-surfing window for most of the time, not a paddle-surfing one. It’s a tough call, but the numbers don't lie. I'd keep my wax in the wrapper.

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.
