The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into what’s cooking at El Suicidio. This point break is fairly consistent, open to south swell, and needs you to be at an intermediate level. The water temp is right where it should be for this time of year.
The first few days are a bit of a struggle. Saturday the 25th kicks off with a glassy 2ft swell from the SSE (194 energy), but it’s pretty ordinary. Sunday the 26th is even smaller with a 1ft glassy morning, and Monday the 27th stays tiny. The whole first week is looking flat and wind-affected. Tuesday the 30th sees a bump to 6ft, but it’s onshore and messy, energy hitting 455 but not doing us any favors.
The real standout, and the one to circle, is Monday the 3rd of August. A solid 8ft easterly swell rolls in with a 9-second period. The energy is massive at 889, and the morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s the pick of the period. Tuesday the 4th keeps that power with a 8ft easterly swell, 11-second period, and energy over 1300, still offering clean conditions. But listen, at 8ft, this is for experts only. It’ll be heavy.
Remember, this early August window is a long way out, so keep an eye on it but don’t bank on it. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th bring the wind back onshore with rain and chop. The best window is short and sharp.
After that, the swell drops and the wind gets messy into the second weekend. So for the experienced crew, your target is Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s when the juice is worth the squeeze.
