The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for you. Rusty here.
Gotta be honest, the next 16 days at El Peaje are looking pretty bleak for a while. The first part of the run is dead. Tiny swell, bad wind, nothing happening. The first time you might want to even look at the water is Thursday the 20th of August.
That Thursday morning shows a little bump. Swell at 1.0m from the ENE, period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is just waking up (156), but conditions are still poor. That afternoon gets a little bigger at 1.4m, but the wind goes cross-onshore, and it gets choppy. Friday the 21st is more of the same – 1.4m in the morning from the NE, but still messy.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are a grind. Swell sits between 1ft and 1.3m, moderate energy (191 to 277), but the wind is rarely good. Too much cross-onshore wind making it chopped out.
Here’s the one bright spot, the only one I’d really call a winner: Thursday the 27th of August, first light. The swell is 1.2m from the ENE, period short at 7 seconds, but the wind is glassy. Flat calm. The water will be like a mirror. That’s the session. It’s not going to be big, but it will be clean and surfable. The energy is moderate at 147. For a reef break like El Peaje, that’s the call. If you can only pick one day, that’s the one.
After that, it’s back to the same old story going into September. Small swell, bad wind. The 31st of August afternoon is a long shot – only 0.8m but the wind goes cross-offshore and cleans it up.
Water temp is nothing special, about average for the time of year.
Okay, so the long and short of it: most of this is a washout, but you get a golden window on the morning of the 27th of August. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.

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