The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check the surf for the next sixteen days. We're looking at just one spot, so I'll keep it straight.
Honestly, the first chunk is mostly a write-off. From Tuesday the 21st through Wednesday morning the 23rd, it's onshore wind and weak, short-period slop. Not worth getting wet – the energy is weak, reading under 200. You're just battling wind-chop.
Thursday morning the 23rd finally shows a pulse: a 2ft swell from the ENE with an 8-second period, cleaned up by a cross-offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph. It’s surfable, but just barely. Don't get your hopes up.
Friday the 24th has a bit more grunt in the morning – a 2ft south swell with a longer 12-second period, pushing the energy to 248. Wind stays cross-offshore and clean from the NNE at 12 mph. Still a marginal call with possible tide issues.
Our first real window comes on Sunday the 26th. The morning is clean with a NW offshore at 12 mph and a 2ft, 8-second ENE swell hitting an energy of 170. But the standout is Sunday afternoon. We get a gentle offshore from the NW at 9 mph, making for a glassy surface, a 3ft, 8-second ENE swell, and the energy climbs to 212. The call is "expect good surf conditions." El Muelle will be your spot – clean and offering lines. That’s your best bet in the first week.
Monday the 27th holds moderate offshores with surfable waves, but nothing special.
Looking deeper into the forecast, Thursday the 30th of July sees a spike in size. Swell hits 6ft with an 8-second period and energy over 500, but it’s blown out by a fresh to strong breeze from the NNE at 19 to 25 mph. That much wind on a beach setup like El Muelle will create bumpy, lumpy conditions. Better for kites than a surfboard.
The only other potential epic comes on Monday the 3rd of August. We get a 6ft, 9-second south-southwest swell with an energy reading of 568, and the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The call is "expect very good surf conditions." That's your second standout, but it's two weeks away, so keep your fingers crossed. After that, it fades into cross-shore breezes and choppy junk.
So, the bottom line: hit Sunday afternoon the 26th of July for the cleanest, funnest waves in the near term. Keep an eye out for Monday the 3rd of August – if that glassy forecast sticks, it could be the best day of the month.
Stay stoked,
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.

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.
