The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t even show up until Sunday the 13th of September. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and for a lot of the time, the conditions are just plain poor. There’s a bit of a gap here with no real recommendations until that Sunday.
So, let’s jump ahead to Sunday the 13th. That morning is where things start to get interesting. El Muelle is looking like the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a 4ft south swell rolling in with a 10-second period, giving us some decent energy (combined energy of 349). The real beauty is that clean, offshore wind from the WNW. It’s light, it’s glassy, and it’s going to make those waves look proper. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there. This is a consistent spot, so you can bank on a few waves. It’s a beach and pier setup, so that long-period groundswell might not be the absolute best for it, but with those winds, I’d be out there.
The rest of the week after that is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday the 14th has a small 3ft south swell in the morning with a moderate offshore breeze, but it’s nothing to write home about. Tuesday the 15th gets messy with strong cross-shore winds. The real standout, if you’re brave enough to look that far ahead, is Wednesday the 16th of September. We’re seeing a 7ft south-southeast swell with a long 12-second period, pumping some serious energy (combined energy of 1392). That’s plenty of power, but it’s a cross-shore wind, so the quality is going to be a bit of a gamble. With that size and period, it’s going to be well overhead and only for the experienced crew. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but it’s got potential.
The last week of the window fades out again. There’s a little 4ft SSW swell on the 19th with a fresh offshore, but it’s short-period and not consistent enough to get excited about. After that, we’re back to tiny, weak waves with poor wind until the end of the forecast. So, in short: this Sunday the 13th is your best bet for a clean, fun session. The big swell on the 16th is for the experts only, and it’s a long-range promise. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
