The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window looking at El Peaje, and I’ve gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch for paddle surfing. The pattern is stubborn: a persistent ENE swell, short period around 7 seconds, and almost constant cross-onshore or onshore wind. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate, but the quality is just not there.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out isn’t until Friday, August 7th. The morning shows a bit of a pulse with 6 ft of swell from the ENE, but it’s still a short period, and the wind is light and onshore. The combined energy hits 506 (moderate), but the forecast is only marginal. It’s not clean, it’s a bit of a mess. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s a long, frustrating run. From Saturday, August 8th, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, it’s the same story – small, short-period, ENE swell, with light onshore mornings and moderate cross-onshore afternoons. The wind is never truly offshore, and the waves are just choppy and weak. The combined energy bounces around but never gets into strong territory. There’s a bit more size on the afternoon of the 16th, with 6 ft and a combined energy of 647 (moderate), but the wind is still cross-onshore, ruining it.
The only potential standout in this whole period is the morning of Monday, August 17th. The swell is up to 7 ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 777 (moderate-to-strong). The wind is light and onshore. This is a big one for the reef, but at 7 ft, it’s getting into expert territory. The period is still short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the only window where the size is real. If you’re an expert and you get lucky with the wind, it could be a go. But it’s a long way off, so don’t hold your breath.
For the rest of the time, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than it is for paddle surfing. The constant onshore flow and small, choppy waves just aren't doing us any favours. There’s a week-long gap of no real quality before the 17th, and then it’s back to poor conditions right after.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
