The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about El Suicidio in feet and miles per hour.
The start is slow, but there are a couple of days that’ll get you frothing. The best early window is Monday morning, September 14th. Glassy conditions with some cloud cover, a 3ft swell from the SSE at 10 seconds. The water is about 55°F, which is standard for now. The combined energy is a moderate 200, and with zero wind, the waves will be clean and lined up. This is the session to aim for.
After that, it goes downhill. Monday afternoon gets a light cross-shore and some ripple, and from Tuesday through to Sunday the 20th, it’s mostly poor conditions: onshore winds, lumpy seas, or tiny swell with energy in the double digits. Thursday the 17th has a clean 3ft SSE swell with an offshore wind, but the energy is only 168 and it’s rated ordinary—a small window for a quick surf if you’re keen.
Then there’s a proper lull from Sunday the 20th to Tuesday the 22nd. Not much happening.
The next real standout is Wednesday morning, September 23rd. Expect a clean 3ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, moderate offshore wind from the NNE, and combined energy of 253. This is a point break, so the groundswell will wrap in nicely. It’s fairly consistent, but crowds are sometimes around—so get in early. The water is still around 55°F, so a 4/3 wetsuit is fine.
Thursday the 24th still has clean offshore wind, but the swell drops to 2ft with energy down to 132—okay for a longboard but not a standout.
From Friday the 25th onward, it goes flat and messy again. A strong onshore blow on Friday, then chop through the weekend. The 29th of September shows a bigger 5ft south swell with a 10-second period and strong energy of 672, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are poor. That’s for experts only if the wind cleans up, but right now it’s looking average.
Best bets: Monday morning the 14th for glass, and Wednesday morning the 23rd for offshore and punch. Don’t miss ‘em.
