Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on what's brewing.
The first few days are nothing to write home about. On Saturday the 4th, we got a small 3-foot S swell with a messy wind – surfable but ordinary. Sunday the 5th is the bright spot early. Glassy conditions in the morning with a 3-foot E swell, 10-second period. The afternoon is even cleaner with a 3-foot E swell and glassy wind. That's about as good as it gets for the first week.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th get blown to bits by strong cross and offshore winds. Swell stays small. Wednesday the 8th is flat with tiny 2-foot waves and almost no push. By Thursday the 9th, a crummy 5-foot S swell shows up but it's short-period and blown out. Friday the 10th is bigger and uglier with cross-on wind. So the first week is mostly a write-off.
Now for the second week – that's where the juice comes in. Monday the 13th is the first real standout. A solid 5-foot SW swell with light offshore wind from the NNW in the morning. The energy is pumping. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 6-foot SSW with a cross-off breeze. That's a good day.
Tuesday the 14th keeps a 5-foot SSW swell going with offshore wind. Into Thursday the 16th, things go nuclear. A massive 12-foot SSW swell rolls in with light offshore wind. The energy is off the charts. Friday the 17th stays enormous with a 13-foot SSE swell. This is expert-only territory and hardly paddleable. The break will be a mess for most.
By Saturday the 18th, it backs down to 8-foot SE with a long period, but still powerful. Then Sunday the 19th is the real cherry. A clean 8-foot ESE groundswell with a very long 12-second period and a cross-off breeze from the NNW. That's excellent for experienced surfers. Crowds are sometimes a factor at this spot, so expect some company on what shapes up to be the best day of the whole outlook.
Starting water temp is around 52°F, which is about 3°F warmer than usual for this time of year – your hands will notice the difference at El Muelle.
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.
