The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us.
The opening part of this run is pretty ordinary, I gotta be honest. We’ve got a bit of a wait before things start looking interesting. For the first few days, we’re staring down the barrel of some so-so conditions. The water temp is sitting at 50°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a huge deal, but you’ll notice it.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window is going to be Thursday morning, the 27th of August, at El Muelle. We’re looking at a clean 4ft SSE swell, period is a solid 12 seconds, so there's some proper groundswell energy in the water. The wind is light offshore out of the northwest, which will keep the faces tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 438 – not pumping, but fun. This is a consistent spot, but crowds are sometimes an issue, so get in early.
That same day, Thursday afternoon drops off with the wind swinging cross-shore and the quality goes south.
Friday the 28th has a chance too – the afternoon session sees flat-calm glassy conditions, but the swell is weak at 3ft from the ENE, with a short 9-second period. Energy is low (215). It’s surfable, but ordinary.
By Saturday the 29th, it’s small and weak – 3ft waves, glassy again in the afternoon, but not enough grunt to get excited about. Energy is down to 130.
From Sunday the 30th all the way through to Monday the 7th of September, we hit a real flat spell. Many days have no real surf on offer, with wave heights barely scraping 2ft and energy readings in the weak zone below 100. The wind is occasionally offshore, but there's just no swell to work with.
There is a little flicker on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning, with a 3ft ENE swell and a fresh 35 km/h offshore wind. But the energy is only moderate (262) and overall it's still not coming together as a proper session. That northwest wind is strong too.
Towards the very end of the run, on Monday the 7th of September afternoon, we get a little 3ft ENE swell with a light offshore wind, but the energy is still low and the period is short. Just a salvageable wave, not a standout.
Bottom line: if you want the cleanest, most rewarding surf, pencil in Thursday morning the 27th of August at El Muelle. Everything else is pretty lean until the second week, and even then, nothing spectacular.
Rusty.

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.
