The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it, because this run at El Muelle has got some serious moments if you time it right. Water temp is sitting at 51° right now, which is a whole 4° warmer than average for this time of year – you won’t need the thickest wetsuit, that’s a nice little bonus.
The setup here is a beach and pier break, consistent, and it’s fully exposed to the south. It wants the swell from SSE direction for best shape, and we get that. The week kicks off properly on Tuesday morning the 11th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft S swell with a period of 11 seconds (good groundswell energy) and the combined energy is dialled right up at 1341 (strong). Wind is a light W cross-off at 10 km/h. That’s clean, that’s the real deal – excellent for experienced surfers. This is your standout of the whole run. Wednesday morning the 12th is glassy – NW wind at just 5 km/h, dead flat water, 6 ft S swell (949 combined energy). Those early windows are the ones you want to be in the water for.
Things go a bit south from Thursday morning the 13th through Saturday the 15th – cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions kill the quality. The swell hangs around but it’s messy. Then Sunday the 16th morning brings a little relief – glassy conditions with a tiny 4 ft ENE short-period swell (6 seconds, 167 energy) – it’s surfable but very ordinary. Not what you’d drive for.
Now, skip ahead to Tuesday morning the 18th – clean again, NW offshore wind at 10 km/h, 5 ft SSW swell (585 combined, moderate energy). Good shape, good vibes, intermediate-friendly. Then there’s a bit of a dry spell with poor options and small surf through to the 24th. But keep your eye on Tuesday the 25th – that morning shows a 7 ft S groundswell (12-second period) and 1222 combined energy. That’s a proper pulse, though the wind is light cross-shore so expect a little texture. That’s expert territory at that size.
Wednesday morning the 26th finishes strong with glassy conditions again, 6 ft S swell and 12-second period. Clean lines, plenty of energy. That’s your second standout if you miss the Tuesday morning the 11th. All in all, two real windows worth chasing: Tuesday the 11th morning and Wednesday the 26th morning.

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.
