The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The truth is, it’s a pretty quiet stretch overall. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf to speak of, and it’s not until Monday the 14th that we finally see a glimmer of something rideable. So, for the first week and a half, you’re better off checking the tide pools or doing something else.
The first proper chance to get wet comes on Monday the 14th, early morning. El Muelle (reef and point) will have a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, which for a reef and point setup like this can mean some lined-up, shapely waves. The wind will be light from the SW, just 3 mph, and it’s blowing cross-offshore. That’s a major positive – it’ll keep the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate (261). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. It’s not big, but it’s the best on offer.
Now, the second week has some promise, but it’s a long way off. On Wednesday the 16th in the morning, we’ve got a 2ft, 17-second period swell from the NNW. That’s a very long period groundswell, which is a beautiful thing for a point break like this. The energy is strong (386), but it’s tiny. The wind is onshore from the NNE at 9 mph, which will mess it up a bit. The afternoon looks a bit better with a 3ft swell from the same direction, 15-second period, and even stronger energy (471). But again, the wind is onshore from the north at 12 mph. It’s a potential standout if the wind cooperates, but it’s far out and the conditions are a gamble.
Thursday the 17th morning has a 3ft, 12-second swell from the NNW, but the wind is cranking from the NNE at 22 mph, cross-on, making it lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one. The afternoon is similar, with a fresh onshore breeze.
So, the pick of the entire period is undoubtedly Monday the 14th morning. Clean, lined-up, and a long period groundswell. It’s small, but it’s the only window where the stars align. The rest of the time, the wind ruins it. If you’re a patient surfer, keep an eye on the 16th, but don’t hold your breath. It’s been a long dry spell, but it tends not to stay this quiet forever.

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.
