The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the coming stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a frustrating start at El Muelle. The first few days are a write-off – small, weak swell with bumpy winds, not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at 51°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday afternoon, 24th July. The wind swings offshore from the NW, cleaning up a 2ft swell from the S. The period stretches out to a nice long 14 seconds, giving the waves some decent shape and energy. It’s not huge, but it’ll be fun and clean for a session.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for the first week of August. We’ve got a solid run starting Sunday morning, 2nd August. A 7ft swell from the E with a moderate 8-second period rolls in, and the wind is cross-off from the N. The combined wave energy is pumping at 893 (moderate to strong), and the conditions are clean. This is the best of the bunch – a proper, solid surf day.
Then Monday, 3rd August, is even better. Morning brings a 7ft ENE swell with light cross-off winds, and by the afternoon it goes glassy with a 8ft ENE swell. The energy is still strong, and the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is a top-tier session for experienced surfers, as the size is getting up there.
By Tuesday, 4th August, the swell bumps up to 10ft from the ENE, but that’s getting too big for this break. The forecast says it’s too big for this spot, so only the hardcore crew should even think about it. Wednesday, 5th August, offers a last belter with a 8ft ENE swell and offshore NW winds, giving excellent conditions for those who know what they’re doing.
After that, the swell drops off and the wind turns messy again, so the first week of August is where your focus should be. If you’re looking for a time to pull the trigger, Sunday the 2nd through Wednesday the 5th are your windows. The Wednesday afternoon session with the offshore wind is the real highlight – that’s the one to get excited about.
Signing off, Rusty.

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.
