The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s heading our way at El Muelle.

Right now, things are looking pretty flat and ordinary around here. We’ve got a serious dry spell on the table. The first real chance of a decent session doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 13th of September. Before that, it’s a long stretch of small, messy, or wind-affected waves that just aren’t worth suiting up for.

The water is sitting at around 51°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a bit of a surprise.

The standout window is the morning of Sunday, the 13th of September. We get a clean 5ft swell coming out of the south with a period of 9 seconds, and a gentle offshore breeze out of the west-northwest. The combined energy is moderate (416), and the conditions are looking clean. This is the best we’re going to see. Later that afternoon, it drops off with a cross-onshore wind, so get on it early.

The rest of the period is a write-off, really. There’s a brief look at Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September with some 5ft to 4ft south-east swell, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the wave comments are only marginal. The energy is moderate but the quality isn’t there. It’s not enough to get excited about.

Honestly, if you’re after anything surfable, Sunday the 13th morning is your only real shot in the next 16 days.

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.
