Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots for ya.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a letdown. We’re lookin’ at a gap from now until Saturday morning with nothing really worth paddlin’ out for. The swell is tiny, the wind’s messy, and the waves are just not cooperating. Sunday morning, the 12th of July, gets us on the board with a small 2.3ft SSW groundswell, period a solid 14 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is moderate (211), but the size is tiny and the quality is only just enough to wet the line. You’ll be fightin’ for scraps.
The standout of the whole forecast, the one you circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 18th of July. That morning is an absolute gift. We’ve got a pure glassy dawn, not a breath of wind, and the swell fills in to 2.0ft from the SW with a long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 484 (moderate), and the break is exposed to the right swell direction. For El Porto Beach, that’s about as clean as it gets. Keep in mind, though, this is a beginner spot—consistent and often crowded—so you’ll have company, but it’ll be worth it for the silky lines.
Sunday the 19th of July morning builds on that with a 3.6ft S swell, 15-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind. Energy hits strong territory (785), and the lines will have some push. That afternoon sees it droppin’ off a touch, but the morning session is the real winner here.
Overall, the early week is a write-off, but that Saturday and Sunday window in the second week is where the magic lives. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, about 67.5°F, so it’s pleasant if you’re out there. Hang tight, and don’t waste the glass.

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.
