The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for El Muelle.
Right off the bat, the start of this outlook is a bit of a bust. The Friday morning (11th September) is tiny with only 1ft of weak SSE swell and light cross-onshore wind, and the water, at 51°, feels a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. We’re looking at a long gap of almost nothing worth paddling out for until we get to the weekend.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, 13th September. The morning session is the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a clean 4ft S swell with a long 11-second period pushing through, and it’s glassing off with a light WNW cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 443. This is the session to circle.
After that, the surf drops right off again for a few days. Monday morning (14th) has a fresh offshore blowing but only 2ft on offer. We’re in a dry spell until Wednesday, 16th September.
Now, Wednesday afternoon (16th September) is the other one worth noting. The swell jumps to a solid 6ft from the S, but the period drops to 10 seconds. The key here is the clean conditions with a light NE cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is strong though, at 1029, so there’s plenty of push. This is excellent for experienced surfers, though the 8ft swell that morning might be a bit much for the groms. Crowds are sometimes a thing at El Muelle, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
The rest of the outlook is a mix of onshore wind and messy conditions. Thursday (17th) is clean but small, and we drop back to tiny surf through the following weekend. The 21st (Monday) morning has a 5ft ENE swell and a moderate offshore, but it’s only surfable and very ordinary.
For the long-range, Saturday 26th (morning) sees 6ft from the S again, but the onshore wind keeps things choppy. Nothing special there.
So, the pick is Sunday morning (13th September) for the cleanest, longest-period swell of the period. Wednesday afternoon (16th) is the second choice for the bigger, cleaner waves for the crew who can handle it. There's nothing else that really stands out. Grab it while it’s there.

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.
