Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way for El Muelle. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are some real moments to get excited about if you’re patient.
First up, the forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow start. The opening days aren't offering much to write home about. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Sunday, July 5th. The morning is looking like the pick of the early period. We’ve got a 3 ft swell rolling in from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy, and the conditions are expected to be good. The combined wave energy is moderate (237), so nothing too heavy, but it’ll be clean and fun. It’s not a standout for size, but it’s a nice little window of glassy conditions.
After that, things get a bit messy. Monday through to the middle of the following week is pretty ordinary, with poor conditions and stronger winds. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
Now, for the real news. The standout by a long shot hits Tuesday, July 14th. The morning brings a solid 12 ft swell from the southwest, with a 10-second period. The wind is fresh and offshore from the northwest, which will keep it clean. The combined energy is massive (2191), but the file tells us this swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is one for the experts only, and even then, it’s a serious beast. The same big energy rolls through the 15th and 16th as well, with the 17th seeing a 13 ft southwest groundswell with a long 13-second period, and energy going through the roof (9232). Again, this is expert territory only.
Given the size of this swell and the setup, this is a prime time for the kite surfers to have a field day. The waves will be big and powerful, but the cross-offshore winds will keep it clean for those with the skills.
For the average surfer, the best bet in the whole window is that glassy Sunday morning (July 5th) or maybe the cleaner moments on Tuesday afternoon (July 7th) with a 3 ft east-southeast swell and gentle cross-offshore winds. It’s not huge, but it’ll be the most user-friendly.
So, to sum it up: a slow start, a few days of clean small surf, then a massive pulse of energy that’s too big for the break. Plan accordingly.
Rusty.

Information about the El Muelle Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Muelle provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Muelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Muelle surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (El Muelle) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
