The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here with the outlook for your local stretch.
We’re looking at a solid pulse of swell kicking off the week, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The standout window is definitely Monday morning, August 24th, but after that, conditions get a bit tricky. There’s a long gap of mediocre to poor surf from the weekend onward, so make the most of the early days.
The best bet by far is El Muelle on Monday morning, August 24th. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the S with a nice 11-second period. The water is sitting about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit. The wind is light and glassy, so the surface will be butter-smooth – perfect for the experienced surfer. The combined swell energy is strong at 1165, so there’s plenty of push. The break is a consistent beach/pier setup, so expect some crowd factor, but it’ll be worth it for the clean lines.
Monday afternoon on the 24th sees the swell dip slightly to 7ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, making it messy. Skip it.
Tuesday, August 25th, the swell drops to 5ft from the SSE, but the wind is a clean cross-off. Still, the energy is moderate (493) and it’s only marginal. Wednesday the 26th sees a bit more size at 6-6ft from the SE with a long 14-second period, which is great for shape, but the moderate cross-off wind keeps it from being a standout. The energy is strong (1573 on Wednesday morning), but the conditions are just okay.
Thursday morning, August 27th, offers a small 4ft SE swell with a nice offshore wind, leaving clean waves. Energy is moderate (416), but the size is small.
From Friday, August 28th, onwards, it’s a slow decline. The swell drops below 3ft and the energy weakens. There’s a long gap of small, poor-quality surf through the weekend and into the start of September. A few days in early September see a tiny bump from the SW, but with very short periods (6-7 seconds) and weak energy, it’s not worth paddling out for. The pattern stays flat until around September 7th, when a small E swell (5ft) shows up with offshore winds and glassy conditions, giving a glimmer of hope, but that’s over a week away and the energy is still low (276).
To sum it up: hit Monday morning, August 24th, for the best session. After that, patience is key.
Rusty.

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.
