The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re taking a good, hard look at the waves for El Penon Amador, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. This is an advanced reef break that’s already inconsistent, and over the next 16 days, the conditions just aren't lining up for a proper session.
The whole report is pretty much a gap. From the start of September right through to the 16th, every single entry is flagged as "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid 16-day block with nothing to get excited about. The swell energy is almost nonexistent, with most readings below the moderate 100 mark (like 65 on the 2nd, 77 on the 5th), and the only time it nudges a bit higher—up to 273 on the 9th afternoon—it’s a messy, short-period 1.7m east swell at a choppy 6 seconds. With the wind howling cross-shore at 35 km/h, that’s a blown-out, lumpy mess, not a surfable wave. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, but that’s small comfort.
If you’re absolutely desperate, keep an eye on Sunday the 6th. The morning has glassy conditions with a light 5 km/h northeast wind, but the swell is a tiny 0.7m from the east at 8 seconds (energy of 61). It’s small and weak, and for a break this inconsistent, it’s a long shot. The afternoon of the 7th also goes glassy for a moment, but we’re talking 0.2m waves—barely a ripple.
Let’s be real: there are no standouts, no hidden gems in this window. The setup here is a reef break needing a decent east or north swell, but with the combined energy barely cracking three digits (174, 222) on only a couple of occasions, and those coming with poor wind, there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Rusty.
