The Lowdown

Alright, same story, different numbers. For El Roque, it’s a rough outlook. The whole 16 days is a bust – every single session is flagged as “poor surf conditions.” No standouts, no hidden gems.

Starting Monday, July 13th, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the NNW, a short 9-second period, and a cross-on breeze at 6 mph. The water’s 73°F, pretty normal for the season. The combined energy is weak at 151. It’s just a messy, uninviting start.

From Tuesday the 14th all the way to the end of the month, the pattern stays the same. Swell heights range from 2ft to 8ft, mostly from the NNE or N, but the period never gets above 8 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-affected junk. Wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, blowing 9 to 16 mph. The combined energy gets into the moderate range (hitting 644 on the 23rd morning), but it only means more chop, not better waves.

For a reef break like El Roque, the swell direction is often off, the period is too short, and the wind is a constant enemy. If you’re really looking for something, maybe the morning of the 23rd has the biggest swell at 8ft, but with a 6-second period and a 12 mph onshore wind, that’s a blown-out, expert-only mess. Don’t bother.

The entire 16-day window is a blank run. No surf worth chasing. Leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the next forecast.

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.
