Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: El Penon Amador isn’t giving you anything worth chasing for the next 16 days. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent and only fires for the advanced crew when conditions are perfect – and they’re not even close. Persistent cross winds and lumpy, bumpy surf are the theme from start to finish.
Starting Sunday the 5th of July, we’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft swell out of the NNE, short 6-second period, cross wind at 19 mph. Water temp is 84°, about 1° above average – warm, but that’s the only nice thing. Energy is a pathetic 4. Flat and choppy. Monday the 6th sees 5 ft of east swell, still a short 6 seconds, cross wind at 19 mph, energy at 177 – moderate but useless with the mess. Tuesday and Wednesday keep pumping 6 ft to 7 ft of east swell, same short period, same fresh cross breeze. Thursday the 9th hits 7 ft with energy up to 335, but the wind ruins it; Thursday afternoon goes dead flat with zero energy.
Friday the 10th offers 6 ft east swell, 6 seconds, cross wind at 22 mph, energy 280 – all wasted. Saturday the 11th drops to 1.0 ft from the NE with a longer 10-second period, then Sunday the 12th goes nearly flat at 0.3 ft. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th bump back to 6 ft and 6 ft, but the wind is still cross and the water lumpy. Mid-week the 15th and 16th have 4 ft from the ENE, period 6 seconds, energy around 141–151, but no quality. From the 17th, we’re back to tiny surf under 1.0 ft until Saturday the 18th, when 5 ft–6 ft east swell returns with 174–250 energy. Still cross wind.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th show the best energy: 268, 262, and Monday morning hits 393. Swell is 5 ft–6 ft from the east, period 7 seconds, and winds ease to moderate at 12–16 mph. But it’s still cross-shore, so expect that cross-chop. For a break that’s inconsistent and picks up swell rarely, this is more of a kite-surfing setup. The size over 5 ft is for experts only, and with the wrong wind and short period, the waves won’t be clean. Crowds can happen here sometimes, but that’s not the problem.
There’s no standout. The closest is Monday the 20th morning: 5 ft east swell, moderate cross wind, strong energy at 393. But without offshore or glassy conditions and a longer period, it’s not worth the drive. Save your wax for a better forecast.
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.
