The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be real honest about the outlook for El Peaje. We're looking at a pretty flat and messy stretch ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything decent for a while.
The first window of *any* surf comes in on Thursday, July 23rd. The swell is small, about 4ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (107). Not powerful at all. The saving grace for the morning is the wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat. You'll get clean, tiny waves, but it's honestly just "surfable" – nothing to write home about. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 5ft energy (365), but it gets messy with a light cross-shore, so it's marginal. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no worries there.
After that, we hit a long, dry spell. From Friday, July 24th, right through the end of the month and into the first few days of August, it's a grim run of poor surf. You'll see constant cross-onshore winds from the east and ENE, blowing around 9 mph, with some mornings up to 12 mph. The swell is consistently small, between 3ft and 5ft, and all of it is short-period windswell. The energy is mostly moderate, with a few afternoons hitting the 300s, but it's all choppy, bumpy, and poor. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, killing any chance of clean lines. This is a tough run for a spot that's exposed to the NE.
The next tiny glimmer is on Monday, July 27th, morning. Again, the wind goes glassy, giving us a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with super low energy (96). Same story as the 23rd – clean, but tiny and weak. The rest of that day and the week after is more of the same: onshore winds and junky surf.
Honestly, if you're looking for a real standout, there isn't one. The best you're going to get is a glassy, small morning on the 23rd or the 27th. If you're desperate for a paddle, those are the only windows, but you'll be on a longboard wishing for more push. With the constant onshore wind and short-period swell, this setup at El Peaje looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer this week.
Keep your head up, though. Forecasts change.

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.
