The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s goin’ on at El Muelle.
This break is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the south-southeast. The next week and a half is a real mixed bag. The first session on offer hits Saturday the 22nd, but it comes with a beast of a swell – we’re talking 12 ft from the south-southwest. With a strong 28 mph cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean, but that size is way too much for most surfers. The combined energy is through the roof (2371), and the water is sitting at a very unusual 51°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 23rd looks even bigger and messier, with southerly swell pushing 13 ft and messy cross-onshore winds. Better to sit that one out. The real standout window is Monday morning, the 24th. The swell drops to a more manageable 7 ft from the south, with an 11-second period. But the magic is the wind: glassy, dead calm from the NNE at just 3 mph. The water will be glassy clean, and while it’s big enough to keep the beginners out, it’s excellent for experienced surfers looking for some power. Energy is still strong at 1165.
After Monday, the size fades fast. Tuesday the 25th offers clean 4 ft to 5 ft swells with offshore winds, but the energy drops, and it’s only marginal. From Wednesday the 26th onward, we’re looking at clean but small surf, rarely cracking 3 ft, and the energy gets weak. By the time we hit the start of September, the swell is tiny, with wave energy readings down in the double digits (30 to 139). There’s really nothing to get excited about from the 27th of August all the way through to the end of the forecast on September 6th. It’s a long, flat run.
In short: the only true standout is Monday morning, the 24th. Glassy, solid, and clean. Don’t sleep on it. The rest of the fortnight is small and barely worth paddling out for.

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.
