The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got coming up for El Porto Beach.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at 74°F – that’s 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm one if you paddle out.
The main story for the next week or so is small, cleanish windows. The real standout is Saturday morning, August 29th. We’ve got a 3 ft south-southwest swell with a very long 17-second period pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at 403. The wind is a light cross-shore at 3 mph, so it’s glassy and clean. That’s your best bet for the whole first week. It’s a spot that’s consistent, but it’s also often crowded, so get there early.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are similar but smaller, with the swell dropping to 2 ft by Monday. The wind stays light cross-shore in the mornings, so you’ll get some clean if small waves. The period drops to 14 seconds, which is still decent.
We hit a real flat patch from Tuesday, September 1st, through Thursday, September 3rd. The swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, and the wind goes onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and poor. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Then things get interesting again. Friday morning, September 4th, the swell bumps back up to 3 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. The energy is moderate at 491. The wind is a light cross-offshore at 6 mph, so the waves will be clean. That’s a solid morning.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is another gem. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, 363 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy at 3 mph. Absolutely clean. That’s the other standout of the whole forecast.
After that, the pattern repeats: small, clean mornings on Monday the 7th and Friday the 11th, with cross-offshore winds, but the swell stays around 2 ft to 2 ft. The energy is moderate (284 and 272). The second week holds a few of those clean but small windows, especially on the 11th, but it’s nothing to get worked up about.
Honestly, the best on offer are the mornings of August 29th, September 5th, and September 4th. Those are the ones with the most size, the longest period, and the cleanest wind. The rest is mostly small or blown out, especially the afternoons. A few days are completely flat.
Rusty.

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 Porto Beach 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.
