The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’ve got coming down the line.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. You’re looking at small, weak surf with winds that are either onshore or just messing it up. The first few days aren't gonna get your heart racing. There's not much point getting wet until we get further into the period.
The one you want to circle on your calendar is the 25th of July, and then the 27th and 28th.
For the 25th, Saturday afternoon, El Muelle is where you need to be. We’re looking at a glassy 5ft swell coming from the ENE. The combined energy is a solid 314, which is just right for this spot. The wind is dead calm, glassy conditions, so it’ll be as clean as it gets. That’s the session right there. It’s not huge, so it’s perfect for most people. But watch out, it can get crowded here, so you’ll have some company.
The 27th and 28th are looking good, too. Monday the 27th morning, you’ve got a clean 5ft E swell with a cross-off breeze. The energy is there, and it’ll be a good wave. Then Tuesday the 28th morning is another glassy one, about 4ft from the E, with a nice long period of 11 seconds and combined energy of 403. That’s a proper groundswell, and with the glassy wind, it’s going to be clean and lined up for the pier.
There are a couple of days in the middle, like the 22nd and 23rd of July, where the swell gets bigger, up to 7ft, but the wind is cross-on or the period is too short, making it choppy and messy. On the 22nd, with that big swell, gusty cross-on wind, and short period, it’s going to be a blown-out mess. If you’re into kite surfing, that might be more interesting than trying to paddle out.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
So to wrap it up: The first week is a bit of a bust, but the last few days of July, specifically the 25th afternoon, 27th morning, and 28th morning at El Muelle, are your real standouts. The 25th is the best on offer with the glassy conditions and a fun, clean swell.

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.
