Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a rough outlook for El Roque for the full 16 days. From now right through to July 19th, it’s basically a write-off. Every session has poor surf conditions, with onshore or cross-onshore wind from the N to NNE—bad news for this break. Swell heights are small, mostly 2ft to 5ft, and the period is short, 5 to 9 seconds, so the waves are weak and choppy. The combined energy stays low to moderate, hanging around 56 to 246 most days.
There’s a little pulse on July 14th and 15th, with wave heights of 5ft to 5ft and energy climbing to 241 and 215, but the wind is still blowing onshore at 20 to 25 mph. The swell direction is NNE, which isn’t what El Roque wants—it likes a clean NNW groundswell. The water temp anomaly is nothing unusual, just average for the time of year.
Come July 20th, you get a bit more size—5ft from the NNE with a 9-second period and a moderate combined energy of 427. But again, the wind is onshore at 25 mph. It’s a better looking set of numbers, but not enough to call it a standout. This spot is best when the swell is from the NNW, and we’re just not seeing that.
For most of the period, with consistent onshore wind and moderate swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So yeah, there’s no real surf to chase here. A long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on the sky, things can always turn.
Rusty.

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