The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the only game in town for this stretch.
Alright, so the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a mixed bag—there’s a long, quiet spell to get through before things wake up. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly a no-go. We’ve got a solid gap from now until the 14th of September where the surf is either poor or marginal at best. The wind is messy, onshore, or just too strong, and the swell is either small or has that short-period, lumpy feel. The first sniff of anything decent comes on the afternoon of the 14th.
El Muelle is the only break on the menu. It’s a consistent beach/pier setup that’s exposed to the south, so it needs the right angle.
The standout window is the morning of 17th September. That’s where the magic is. We’re looking at a clean 7 ft swell from the south, with a solid 11-second period. The combined energy is proper strong (1042), and you’ve got a moderate offshore wind from the NNW keeping it clean. That’s a proper session for experienced surfers—it’s got some size and power, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. The afternoon holds up nicely too, with a 6 ft swell and still offshore, just a touch less power.
The morning of the 15th is another decent shout, with a 4 ft swell from the ESE, a long 12-second period, and clean offshore winds. The energy is moderate (419), and it’s a good one for intermediate surfers, but it’s not a standout like the 17th.
For the rest of it, the 20th of September morning has a clean 6 ft short-period swell from the ENE (8 seconds) with light offshore wind, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit fat and closey.
Crowds at El Muelle can be a bit of a thing sometimes, so for that 17th morning session, expect company.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at El Muelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
