Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same picture, but in feet and knots for you.
First thing’s first – there’s a big, fat gap. From Tuesday the 7th right through Saturday the 11th, it’s dead. Tiny, weak windswell with the wind blowing right onshore. The wave energy is tiny (54) to start. You’re better off waxing your board and staring at it. That’s a solid six days with nothing.
Then on Sunday the 12th, the energy jumps to 419, with a 4ft swell starting from the NNW, period stretching to 9 seconds. It's got some life, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE – gentle, but still lumpy. It’s a tease, showing what could be, but the quality is poor.
Things build through the next week. By Wednesday the 15th, we’re seeing 5ft to 6ft waves, but the same story: onshore wind from the NNE keeps it ragged.
The one real standout in this whole outlook is Saturday the 18th. The morning session at El Roque has a solid 7ft swell from the NNE, period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 512. That's serious power. The wind is onshore from the north (gentle breeze), so it’s not offshore perfection, but it's the biggest, strongest surf we get. At 7ft, this is for experienced surfers only who know the reef. That’s your best bet.
Sunday the 19th is similar at 6ft and still 422 energy, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze from the north, so it gets a bit bumpier.
After that, the energy fades. Monday the 21st drops to 4ft and weak again. The 22nd shows a pulse back to 5-6ft, but the onshore wind keeps it from being any good.
Honestly, it's a grim run. The first week is a total loss. The one shot is Saturday morning, July 18th, with a big, powerful 7ft NNE swell. It’s not clean, but it’s the most size and grunt we’ll see. Everything else is small, onshore, or both. Pick your moment carefully.
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.
