The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what’s brewing at El Muelle for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, so don’t rush to wax up just yet. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th, and even that’s only borderline.
So, for this first week. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are dead, with waves all under 3 feet and messy. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 77 and 305. We get a small window on Wednesday the 29th afternoon, and that’s our first real highlight. El Muelle is the only game in town – a beach/pier setup. The swell is from the SSW at about 4ft with a 9-second period. The big news? The wind drops to glassy – absolutely dead. That’s going to make for the cleanest, smoothest conditions we’ve seen. The combined energy is 228 – nothing huge, but for a Wednesday afternoon, you can’t beat it. If you can sneak away, that’s the best moment in this first stretch.
The rest of the week into the weekend is rough. Thursday and Friday are blown out or weak. Then Saturday the 1st of August sees some bigger swell, around 5 to 6 feet from the east, but the cross-shore winds chop it up. The combined energy jumps to 255 and 344, but the quality is poor.
Looking further out to the second week (August 6th onwards), things shift. The standout looks like Thursday morning, August 6th. We get a 4ft groundswell from the east, with a long 11-second period, and the wind turns offshore from the NW at 18 mph. That’s proper offshore flow, grooming the waves clean. Combined energy is 329 – moderate, but the wind makes it for a good morning session.
But that’s a long way out. Around the 3rd and 4th of August, the swell jumps over 7 feet from the east. That 8ft push on Monday the 3rd morning is big for this break – definitely expert territory with a moderate chop. The combined energy hits 745, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s not clean.
Final call: For the cleanest, most user-friendly surf, aim for Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, or keep an eye on Thursday morning, August 6th. Everything else is a battle.
I’m Rusty. See you out there.

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.
