The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty quiet start for El Muelle. The first surf that might get you a little excited won’t happen until Wednesday morning, September 2nd. But before that, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing much.
From Friday the 28th of August through Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell is tiny—around 2 ft to 3 ft—with short periods of 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak (195 down to 41). The water is 50°F—a touch warmer than usual (about 3°F above normal), so you’ll feel that, but it’s still cold, and the surf is flat.
Then on Wednesday morning, September 2nd, we get a bump: 4 ft of swell from the SSW, but the period is only 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 15 mph. The wave energy climbs to 244 (moderate), but it’s messy with a cross-chop. That’s more of a kiteboarding day than a clean surf session.
Thursday the 3rd drops back to 2 ft, still cross-off but windy. Friday the 4th is a bit better: morning has 2 ft of southern swell (10-second period), and Friday afternoon turns glassy with 2 ft and a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (123), and the glassy conditions are a big plus—clean faces. But the size is still small.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, September 8th. This is the best of the whole outlook. The swell is 4 ft from the SSE with an 8-second period, the wave energy is moderate (220), and the wind is glassy—offshore from the NNW at just 3 mph. That’s near-perfect for El Muelle. It’s a beach/pier setup, so the short period won’t hurt, and with offshore winds, it’ll be clean and fun. That’s your day.
After that, it’s back to small, ordinary conditions through the 12th of September. Some clean surf but nothing to write home about.
If you’re going to pick one day, make it the 8th of September.

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.
