The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on El Muelle. Things are quiet to start, but there's some juice coming if you're willing to wait.
Right now, it's flat and ugly. Thursday the 30th is a total loss – a messy 0.7m south swell with lumpy cross-shore chop and combined energy at only 131. Friday and Saturday are no better, with tiny, weak swell and strong winds making a mess of things. It's a frustrating start for sure.
The first real chance comes Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. We’ve got a clean 0.9m swell from the ENE with a gentle breeze. The energy is up to 315, and the waves will be fun on a longboard. The crowd factor here is "sometimes," so expect a few heads.
Monday the 3rd of August is the absolute standout. The morning is calling. The wind goes glassy, dead flat, and we have a solid 1.6m groundswell from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 593. That's clean, powerful surf. This is the one to plan for.
The rest of the first week is rideable but nothing special. Tuesday the 4th has some clean 1.0m to 1.4m swell, but it's weaker. Mid-week gets crossed-up again with onshore wind.
The second week is hit or miss. Saturday the 8th of August sees a chunky 1.9m south swell, but strong winds wreck it. Sunday the 9th has serious size – 2.3m from the south with a massive 1393 of combined energy. That's expert-only territory, and the cross-shore wind will make it a challenge. It might be better for kite surfing.
Things clean up from Monday the 11th. We get a nice offshore breeze from the NW and a clean, consistent 1.2m to 0.9m south-east groundswell. The energy is moderate, but the conditions are clean. It’s not big, but it's fun and clean right through to the 14th of August with waves in the 0.9m to 1.1m range. This is your most reliable window in the second week.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Monday the 3rd of August for that glassy 1.6m swell. If you miss that, the 11th through the 14th will deliver clean, smaller waves. The big stuff on the 9th is for experts only, and the wind might make it a mess.
Rusty, out.

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.
