The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking.
First thing's first: the first few days are a write-off. Friday and Saturday, we've got swell running a solid 8ft to 11ft-plus from the SSW, mixed up with a nasty onshore or cross wind. It's a washing machine out there. Don't even think about it.
The real window opens up on Monday morning, August 24th. The wind goes glassy offshore from the NW, and the swell settles down to a powerful 8ft from the SSE. The wave energy is pumping at (1613), and it's a proper long-period groundswell at 12 seconds. You'll get clean, lined-up waves, but the power is real. This is for experienced surfers only. It's a genuine standout for the crew that can handle it.
From there, the week tones down. Tuesday and Wednesday see the SSE swell ease back to 4ft to 5ft with clean conditions and light offshore breezes. It's not big, but it's nice and smooth for a longboard or a funboard.
Then we hit a flat spell. From late August into the first week of September, the swell just vanishes, down to 2ft or less, with energy readings in the low hundreds or even below 100. It's a classic quiet period for the area.
But there's light at the end of the tunnel. Keep an eye on Saturday, September 5th. A new SSW swell is forecast to come through at about 5ft, with a decent 10-second period and light offshore winds. The energy jumps back up to (543), and the notes are saying it should be good. It's a long way out, so don't book your flights yet, but that's the one you're waiting for.
Bottom line: skip the weekend mess. Smash Monday morning if you've got the nerve. Then wait and watch for that first Saturday in September. The flat spells are normal here, but the good stuff always comes back.

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.
