The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look.
It’s a real bummer of a start for El Suicidio here. The whole first week is basically a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell, mostly from the SSE or S, with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing it up. The combined wave energy barely gets into triple digits a couple of times, peaking at a weak 183 on the 1st of August, but that’s all wind swell with a short period and poor conditions. You’d be fighting cross-chop and lumpy water for nothing. It’s a tough run.
The gap in any worthwhile surf stretches from the 26th of July right through to the morning of the 3rd of August. That’s a long, flat, messy spell.
But then things get interesting. Monday morning the 3rd of August is the standout. A clean 5ft swell from the SE punches in with a combined energy of 744 – that’s proper moderate energy for this point. The wind is a light offshore from the NNW, which will groom it up nicely. It’s a point break, so it handles that longer period groundswell well. This is the call.
Tuesday the 4th of August holds some fun potential too. The afternoon goes glassy with a 5ft ESE swell – clean and smooth, just a touch smaller on the energy scale (431), but that glassy condition makes it a real treat. Wednesday morning the 5th stays good with a clean 4ft ESE swell and a light offshore from the N, giving you another session to get into. After that, it fades back into small, messy onshore junk for the rest of the run.
So, your one true standout is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August – that’s your window.

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 Suicidio 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.
