Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we’ve got coming down the line for El Muelle. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few little windows that should get the blood pumping.
We kick off on Tuesday the 7th of July with some marginal conditions. A moderate breeze is cross-offshore, which is a decent start with some clean waves in the morning. Not huge, but the energy in the water is moderate (352). Those early sessions might be worth a paddle if you’re keen and the tide cooperates. By Tuesday afternoon, it actually cleans up a touch more with moderate offshore wind, and a bit of a shift in the swell to the ESE at about 3ft with a 9-second period. The water temp is fairly average for this time of year, nothing too out of the ordinary.
The rest of the week into the weekend is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Wednesday and Thursday are dominated by onshore and cross-onshore breezes, and the surf quality comment says it all. It’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and pretty ordinary. If you want to get wet, you'll be battling the elements.
Now, keep an eye on Saturday the 11th of July. It’s a proper standout. Saturday morning sees a shift with a cross-offshore breeze from the west and a wave period that jumps up to 15 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, arriving from the ESE at about 2ft. The energy is strong (509), and with light winds, it’s going to be clean and lined up. For a beach and pier break, that long period might mean it bends a little straighter, but expect some nice, drawn-out lines. Saturday afternoon gets a bit more size (about 4ft) but the wind picks up to a fresh breeze, making it a bit more challenging.
Then we have a solid run starting Monday the 13th. The morning is looking excellent – about 3ft of ESE swell on a 12-second period, with light winds and clean conditions. That’s a great combo. The energy is moderate (307) but the quality is there. Monday afternoon keeps the momentum with a gentle offshore from the NNW. Tuesday the 14th gets blown out a bit by fresh offshore winds, but the swell and period are still there.
Looking further out, the window around Friday the 17th is worth circling on the calendar. Friday morning looks mint – clear skies, a light offshore breeze from the NW, and the swell size lifts to about 6ft from the ENE. That’s a solid amount of juice for the more experienced crew. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more of a wind swell feel, but with glassy conditions it could still offer some fun, punchy walls. Energy is moderate (308). Friday afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore chop.
Right at the tail end, Sunday the 19th of July is something to keep an eye on as a long-range promise. Showers are possible, but the wind is light. There’s a decent E swell running at about 6-6ft with a 10-second period. The energy is strong to very strong (684-732). The only catch is a light cross-onshore wind that’ll introduce a few ripples, but it might still offer some size for those up for a paddle. The rest of the month looks pretty tough, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions taking over.
So, overall: Saturday the 11th morning is your best bet for quality over size, while Friday the 17th morning is the one for a bit more grunt and power. Sunday the 19th is a long-range looker for raw size.
Stay tuned, stay stoked.

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.
