The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break it down.
From the get-go, the early part is a total bummer. Wednesday and Thursday are flat out poor with onshore wind, and Friday turns into a nightmare as a strong SE wind brings a lumpy, onshore mess. You’ve got a dry spell from today all the way through the end of Saturday.
Then, Sunday the 13th finally delivers. This is the clear standout of the whole outlook for El Muelle. The wind goes light offshore in the morning, and by the afternoon it turns glassy – perfect, clean conditions. We’re looking at a clean 3ft S/SSE groundswell with a long 10-second period, giving the waves real push and shape. Wave energy is moderate (295). Water temp is around 50°, just a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Crowds can show up sometimes at this spot, but with surf this clean and a solid period, it’ll be worth it.
The rest of the week is stop-start. Monday the 14th drops right off to tiny surf. Tuesday the 15th has a bump in height but no shape, thanks to a fresh cross-wind that makes a mess of it. Wednesday the 16th gets a bigger 6ft SSE swell but the cross-wind ruins the surface. Thursday the 17th has another clean window with an offshore wind and 4ft SSE swell, but it’s not a standout.
Into the third week, conditions stay shaky. Saturday the 21st through Monday the 23rd are mostly crossed up or onshore. Tuesday the 22nd morning looks okay with a calm cross-offshore wind and 3ft SSW groundswell and clean water. Thursday the 24th has a big 7ft swell from the east, but with a short 7-second period, it’ll be bumpy and bouncy; too big and messy for a good time. Honestly, this stretch feels more like a kiteboarding window than a surfing one. For a paddler, that Sunday the 13th is the one to aim for.
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.
