El Muelle Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what El Muelle is putting on the table.

Right now, the surf is dead flat. We're looking at a bit of a dry spell before anything happens. The first hint of a wave won't show up until Tuesday, July 7th, and even that's small.

The whole pattern is a slow one. We get a tiny window mid-week, then a long stretch of nothing, and finally a little pulse at the end. Let's get into it.

Tuesday, July 7th is your only real chance in the first week. The morning brings a small 4ft swell from the ESE with clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (413), so it'll have some life. But the afternoon is the real deal: the wind turns offshore from the NW, cleaning up a 3ft E swell (9-second period). Energy drops a little (290), but it's clean and rideable. That Tuesday afternoon session is the standout of the whole week – the best you're gonna get.

After that, it's a long, quiet stretch. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are poor with onshore winds and weak, choppy waves. Friday the 10th is a washout. Saturday the 11th sees a bump to 5ft, but it's onshore and messy. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th get bigger (6ft) but are blown out with strong onshore winds. The ocean will have plenty of energy (764 on Sunday morning), but the quality is terrible. For five straight days, from Wednesday the 8th through Sunday the 12th, there's nothing to recommend.

Now, look ahead to the following weekend. Saturday, July 18th shows some real potential. The morning has a clean 4ft wave from the E with a gentle cross-offshore breeze and light energy (289). Then the afternoon gets even better: the swell jumps to 5ft from the E, the wind drops to almost nothing (3 mph), and we get glassy, clean conditions. Energy climbs to 374. That Saturday afternoon is your standout of the whole outlook. It's a long way off, so don't hold your breath, but that's the one to circle on the calendar.

Sunday the 19th is a write-off with heavy rain and strong onshore winds. Monday the 20th brings a much bigger (8ft), powerful swell from the E with a long 12-second period, but it's hammered by onshore winds. That's expert-only and blown out. The energy is massive (1649), but it's no good for us. Tuesday the 21st remains big (6ft) with a long period (12s) and cross-shore wind, making it a marginal call.

So, to sum it up: if you can get out Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, you'll snag a few clean ones. Otherwise, keep your eyes on Saturday, July 18th. That's the best this place has to offer.

Rusty, out.
