The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s look at the surf ahead. We got a long stretch of ocean to talk about, and it starts slow. Don't be in any rush to get wet.
The next few days are a total bust. Nothing but small, lumpy, onshore slop. Not worth the drive. That Saturday the 12th has some size, but it's blown to bits with a strong onshore wind. It's a mess.
We get a little tease on Sunday, the 13th. The wind goes offshore and light, and we get a clean-looking 4ft SW swell. It’s small and clean, but that’s about it for the week. The next seven days are pretty bleak – the swell stays tiny and the wind keeps messing it up.
Then things finally start to move on Sunday, the 20th. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon and we have a clean 4ft S swell. It’s a start.
But the real action is the following week. Circle Wednesday, the 23rd of September. We wake up to a clean 6ft SSW swell, and it just gets better. By the afternoon, it's still glassy with a solid 6ft SSW swell. Perfect. This is a go.
Thursday the 24th the swell is up, but it’s big – we're talking 10ft. That’s too much juice for El Muelle, even if the wind is good. Save that for the experts only.
Friday the 25th, though... this is the one. We’ve got an 8ft S swell in the morning and a clean 7-8ft S swell in the afternoon. Light offshore wind, long period, and the direction is spot on. This is the standout, the best of the whole run. Excellent power and shape for those who can handle it.
Saturday the 26th will still have some size, but the wind turns onshore and it starts to lose its charm.
Remember, this is a long-range call, so keep the expectations in check, but this is looking like a proper finish to the month.
Rusty, out.

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.
