The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Muelle.
Alright, things are looking pretty quiet to start. For the next few days, there’s just not much to get excited about. Sunday through Tuesday we’ve got tiny, weak swell and cross-shore winds that are just making a mess of it. The water is sitting at 51°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only upside right now.
Wednesday morning, the 29th of July, we finally see a little something. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a big deal – clean conditions make everything better. The combined energy is moderate at best (203), but for a morning session, it’ll be rideable. Afternoon cleans up with a light offshore, but the swell drops off a bit.
Thursday and Friday, the wind turns against us again, and the swell gets messy. Not a good run.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the real action is way out in the second week. Tuesday, the 4th of August, is one to circle. We get a solid 8ft swell from the east, with a period stretching to 10 seconds, and it’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (1400). That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s going to be powerful. This is one for experienced surfers only – at 8ft, it’s too big for beginners. The morning is the pick, with excellent conditions.
Then Wednesday the 5th of August, the swell holds at 8ft but the period jumps to 13 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is huge (2501). Offshore wind is blowing at 19 mph, which will keep the faces clean, but with that period, the waves will be lined up and powerful. Again, experts only. It’s a standout, but a challenging one.
After that, the swell slowly drops through the rest of the week, with cleaner conditions returning on Friday the 7th, but smaller again.
The best of the whole window? It’s a toss-up between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, August 4th and 5th. I’d lean toward Wednesday morning for the sheer power and the offshore wind, but if you’re after a bit more manageable size, Tuesday is your day. Both are for the experienced crew.
Stay safe out there.
