The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for El Porto Beach.
Right off the bat, it's not going to be a wild ride for a while. We've got a run of small, mostly onshore junk to work through before anything really gets going. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there, so a spring suit will do you fine.
Thursday the 10th through to Sunday the 21st is looking pretty bleak. We're talking mostly waist-high dribble or smaller, with a lot of those afternoons getting chopped up by a light cross-onshore breeze. The mornings will be cleaner thanks to the cross-off or light breeze, but the swell energy is weak – hovering around 200-300 (moderate energy) at best, and mostly under that. A lot of these sessions are a write-off. There are glimmers, like the morning of the 10th and 11th with some clean 2ft to 3ft SW groundswell (17-16 second periods), but you’d be surfing right on the edge of it being worth paddling out.
The one true standout in this entire 16-day window is Monday the 21st of September. That morning session is where we finally get a pulse of energy. The swell height bumps up to 3ft from the SW, but the combined energy jumps to 515, which is strong, very strong energy for this spot. That, paired with a light breeze and clean conditions, is the pick of the whole forecast. For a more exposed break like El Porto that’s consistent, this is the morning to circle on your calendar. The wave period is a long 17 seconds, which is proper groundswell, so expect better shaped lines with longer waits between sets. It’s going to be fun.
After that little spike, Tuesday and Wednesday the 22nd and 23rd drop back down to the same mediocre, small stuff. So really, it’s a long wait for one solid dawn patrol.
Be aware that El Porto can get crowded, especially when it's clean and showing any sort of wave, so expect company on that Monday morning.

Information about the El Porto Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Porto Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Porto Beach 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 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. 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.
