Alright, let’s cut to it. I’ll be blunt—this ain’t a pretty picture for El Roque. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s nearly all "poor surf conditions" and zero scores across the board. You’re in for a long drought.
From the 6th of July, it’s consistent onshore wind—north and north-northeast, blowing 10 to 25 mph. Constant chop. Swell is short-period junk, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, with wave energy that’s weak to middling (28 to 179 early on). Wave heights run from 2 ft to about 4 ft, but it’s all messed up by the wind. Water temp is around 72°F, which is about average for the season.
The second week gets a bit more interesting swell-wise, but not in a good way for surfing. By the 17th, waves push up to 5 to 6 ft, and the combined energy climbs into the 200s, 300s, and even hits over 400 on the 21st. But with the wind holding steady out of the north and cross-onshore at times, plus that short period, it’s gonna be a washing machine. At that size and with those conditions on a reef break, this setup screams kiteboarding, not paddling.
El Roque (reef) needs a clean north-northwest swell and offshore wind, but the persistent northerly airflow kills it. There’s not one solid day to recommend. Save your energy for something better down the road.

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.
