The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the local stretch.
We've got a bit of a slow start across the board, but there's some light at the end of the tunnel. The first real hope I'm seeing is a bit of a wait.
El Muelle is the only game in town, but honestly, for the first week, it's a struggle. Saturday the 5th kicks off with some lumpy, cross-on mess from a southerly swell – 7ft at 8 seconds, but that wind is just ruining it. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 51°, about 4° above average, which is notable. The energy is middling (638) but it's just not rideable. That trend of poor, onshore conditions sticks around. We get a bit of a clean-up Monday the 7th with a lighter cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops right out to barely 3ft, so it's not really worth suiting up. There's a long gap here with basically no surf recommendations from the 5th right through the middle of the month.
Now, for the standouts. You'll want to circle Sunday the 13th of September. That morning at El Muelle, the wind is a light northerly, clean, and we've got a chest-high 4ft SSE swell wrapping in. The combined energy is a solid 467 – that's a proper push. It’s not huge, but the conditions should be clean, making for a really fun, user-friendly session. The afternoon holds up too with a similar 4ft from the ENE. This is the best on offer for the whole period.
Looking further ahead to the end of the second week, we get another little pulse. Thursday the 17th of September is worth a mention. We're back to a clean 4ft southerly swell with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. It’s not a blockbuster, but after a long dry spell, a clean, waist-high day with light winds is a welcome sight. The following Friday the 18th brings a short-period 4ft ENE swell with a fresh offshore breeze, which could offer some punchy but manageable waves for those who know the bank.
Overall, it's a lean outlook. The first week is a write-off, but that Sunday the 13th is your genuine window. The good news is the breaks here are generally consistent, so it won't stay flat forever. Keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.

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.
