The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming down the line for the region.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a real dry spell of poor surf quality hanging around, with no real recommendations to speak of until we get into the second week. The first real chance of something worth paddling for shows up on Thursday, September 10th, but before that, it's a waiting game. From the 1st right through to the 9th, conditions are consistently poor, with onshore and cross-onshore winds and weak, choppy surf.
El Peaje is the only break on the menu. It's a reef setup, fairly consistent, and it likes swell from the NE. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird.
Your first real window appears on the morning of Thursday, the 10th. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, which is a huge positive. The swell is a little under 5ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (351). It’s not a world-beater, but that glassy wind will make it look a lot better than it has been. Definitely the standout window in this whole 16-day run. Come the afternoon, the wind swings cross-onshore and it's back to being poor.
The following morning, Friday the 11th, sees a bit more size, about 6ft from the ENE, but it's still a short period 8-second windswell and the conditions are only marginal. Not really a standout, but a step up from the rest if you're itching.
After that, it’s back to the same old story of poor conditions and small surf. The morning of Sunday the 13th gives a brief moment of glassy conditions again, but with a tiny 3-4ft swell from the ENE and weak energy (97), it's only offering a small, very ordinary session. The swell direction is ENE, which isn't the optimum NE for the break, so the shape might not be firing.
So, to be honest, your only real shot at something decent is the glassy morning of Thursday, the 10th. Beyond that, it's a long, slow grind of poor surf. The setup being a reef, and with the short-period, weak swells, it’s not looking like it would be much good for kite surfing either.
Stay patient, 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.
El Peaje is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Moron. If you plan a holiday in Zona del Centro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Moron. Moron has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
