The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we’ve got on the cards for El Muelle. It’s a bleak outlook, I gotta be honest with you. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There just aren't any good surf options coming our way. From the 24th of August all the way through to the 8th of September, it’s a total blank run. That stretch of days with no recommendations is pretty much the entire forecast period.
Now, for El Muelle, a reef and point setup, this kind of long, quiet spell is actually more normal for the area. It’s not a spot that gets hammered all year round. Let’s break down why it's so grim. The wind is a killer. The combined swell energy is weak at best, never really breaking into that moderate zone in a way that matters. We see a couple of days around the 29th of August where the energy climbs to (1189), but that’s paired with fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind, and the wave comment is just “poor.” The swell direction is mostly N or NNW, which is fine for the spot, but the period is often short, and the wind just ruins everything.
The water temp’s about average for this time of year, but you won’t be getting in for the surf anyway. Look, this setup is blown-out and messy. If you’re absolutely desperate, you’d be better off looking at another sport. The wind is strong and onshore most days, which makes this more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
