The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for El Penon Amador. I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window looks pretty grim. We've got a real dry spell on our hands, so don't be expecting any magic.
The first couple of weeks are essentially a write-off. There's a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, with the wind howling from the ENE and cross-shore, chopping everything up. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
We do see a few pulses of energy, like around the 25th of July (Saturday morning) when the combined swell energy hits a moderate 240, with a 5ft swell from the ENE. But the period is just 8 seconds, and that 19 mph cross-shore wind will turn it into a lumpy mess. That pattern holds through the 31st of July (Friday) – the swell gets a bit bigger, up to 6ft from the ENE with moderate energy around 355, but again, the wind is brutal.
The one real standout, and I mean the only glimmer of hope, is the morning of Monday, 27th of July. We get a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the E at just 3 mph, and the swell is a waist-high 3ft from the ENE. The combined energy is weak at 83, but for that one window, the conditions will be clean. It's a reef break that's inconsistent and for advanced surfers only, so you'll need to be on your game. Crowds are possible. If you're a beginner, this whole period is a no-go.
Another possible moment to keep an eye on comes late in the second week. On the afternoon of Sunday, 2nd August, the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft from the N. It's flat, but it's the only time we see a glassy surface.
Honestly, for the most part, the setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these strong, consistent cross-shore winds. The forecast is pretty reliable for the near term, and it's just not good. It's a rough run for a spot like this, and for the long-range stuff, it's just too uncertain to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.

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 Penon Amador 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.
