The Lowdown
Alright, mate, I’m gonna be straight with you. The surf outlook for El Penon Amador is a bummer. This reef break is inconsistent even when conditions line up, and right now they’re not lining up at all.
We’re looking at a dead run from today, Sunday the 26th of July, all the way through to the second week of August. The swell shows up now and then—like 5ft on Sunday afternoon, or 6ft on Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th mornings—but the wind ruins it. It’s cross-shore at 15 to 25 mph most days, and even the clean windows on the 29th and 30th mornings are built on short-period windswell (7 seconds). Choppy, messy, no shape. The wave energy climbs to 381–430 (moderate) on those afternoons, but with 25 mph winds it’s just a washing machine. Thursday arvo is more kite-surfing material.
Tuesday the 28th afternoon goes glassy with a long 11-second pulse, but it’s barely ankle-high at 0.3ft. Flat.
Into the second week, it barely improves. Mornings on the 5th and 6th of August see a 0.3ft groundswell out of the north, but the energy’s next to nothing (6–11). The last hope fades by the 10th. When it’s this quiet, it’s not unusual for the area. Forecasts can turn around, but right now? Don’t hold your breath.
Water temp’s about 84°F on Sunday, right on average for July. Nothing wild.
Rusty.

Information about the El Penon Amador Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Penon Amador provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Penon Amador can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Penon Amador 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 Penon Amador) 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 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. 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.
