El Playon surf forecast from 10 Jul 2026:
Best Forecast Surf Conditions for El Playon this week:
The largest open ocean swell (not directed at the beach) is 1.6m 7s period and expected on Friday (Jul 10) at 8PM.
Alright, let’s get real about what we’ve got coming up. To be straight with you, the next few weeks are looking pretty grim. For the entire forecast window from now through to the 25th of July, there is no swell on the charts for El Playon. The wave energy is sitting at zero (0) for every single session. That’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The first week, from Friday the 10th right through to Thursday the 16th, offers nothing. Not even a ripple. Winds will be mostly cross-onshore or onshore in the afternoons, and the mornings see very light breezes from the north-northeast, but with no waves to clean up, it doesn't matter. It’s a total blank.
The second week rolls on the same way. From Friday the 17th right through to the 25th, still nothing. The combined swell energy never climbs above zero. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 82°F – that's about average for this time of year – but there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
There are a couple of mornings that look glassy or near-glass, like the 25th of July Saturday morning with a light northerly, but without any swell, it’s a flat calm lake, not a surf break.
So, I wish I had something better to tell you, but there are no good surf options on the table. This isn’t unusual for the area – when it goes flat, it can really go flat. Keep your eyes peeled; forecasts can change, and a little pulse might pop up, but for now, it’s a solid no-go for paddle surfing. Pack the kite if you’re desperate for a fix.

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