Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk El Palito. Honestly, this forecast is a bummer. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple worth chasing.
The only time you might even think about waxing up is Saturday morning, July 4th. It’s cloudy, but the wind is glassy. Swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (47). Water temp is about 82°F, dead average for this time of year. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” but with that glass, it’s your best shot.
Then Sunday morning, July 5th, again glassy. A slightly bigger 3 ft of NE swell, still a short period (7 seconds), weak energy at 73. “Surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the peak right there. If you’re a beginner, these two mornings are your only window.
From Sunday afternoon the 5th onward, it’s a desert. No swell, poor conditions, and cross-onshore or onshore winds for days. There are huge gaps of several days with nothing at all. The second week is a total write-off.
So, a couple of small, clean windows early on, then nothing. That’s the long and short of it.
Rusty.

Information about the El Palito Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Palito provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Palito can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Palito 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 Palito) 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 Palito 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.
