The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for this region is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window that kicks off now, but honestly, the first solid week and a half is a write-off for decent waves. The conditions are just not cooperating.
The only spot on the radar is El Peaje, a reef break that's fairly consistent. The water is sitting at 82°F which is bang on average for the time of year. The problem is, from the 27th of July right through the first week of August, the combined wave energy is weak, sitting around 82 (82) to 207 (207), with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. That's windswell, not groundswell, and it's coming from the ENE. The wind is a constant issue – blowing cross-on or onshore from the ENE and E, turning the surf into a choppy mess. The models are showing "poor surf conditions" day after day.
There's a brief spike on the 30th of July where the swell hits 5ft and the combined energy jumps to 511 (511), but it's still messy with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind and a short period. Even with the height, it's not going to be clean. The morning of the 31st of July is the only time the score gets a 1, with a 5ft swell and onshore wind, but it's described as marginal. After that, it drops back into the doldrums with small, weak, and choppy conditions through to the 11th of August.
The 7th of August sees the swell nudge back up to 5ft, but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and the period is short. The energy gets a bit stronger around the 8th of August with 379 (379), but it's still not clean. Later in the game, on the 11th of August, we see another pulse with a 5ft swell and a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 490 (490), but the wind is still cross-onshore and there's a risk of thunderstorms. It's just not coming together.
There is no standout here. Not a single day in the entire 16 days offers a good combination of light winds, decent swell, and clean conditions. If you're desperate, you could paddle out on the 31st of July morning when the swell is 5ft, but don't expect much. For the rest of the time, with the consistent cross-onshore chop and short period swell, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecast can change, and it's a consistent break, but right now, this is a blank run.
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.
