The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story in feet and miles. This reef is going through a long, flat spell with a whole lot of nothing before one brief window shows up.
For the next week, don't even bother. El Penon Amador has tiny, weak swell from the east and east-northeast, with cross-shore breezes chopping everything up. The wave energy is low, often under 100 (seeing numbers like 50, 81, 76). It’s a full seven-day stretch with zero to chase. Water temp is unremarkable for this time of year.
The only time to pay attention is Friday, September 11th. The morning is marginal with a clean-ish cross-off breeze, offering waves around 5ft from the east. The real standout is that Friday afternoon: a light east-southeast breeze keeps the surface glassy, and the east swell holds at just over 5ft with moderate energy at 374. For a spot that’s inconsistent, a clean 5ft afternoon on the reef is your best bet by a mile.
Saturday the 12th goes back to being windy and small, and after that, it’s a whole lot of nothing through to the 19th, with wave energy dropping below 100 again. There is no second option here.
Mark your calendar for the afternoon of September 11th. That’s the one.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at El Penon Amador can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
