El Suicidio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's cookin' for El Suicidio over the next couple of weeks.

Well, folks, it’s gonna be a test of patience. We’ve got a pretty bleak run of surf on the cards for this point break. The water temp is sittin' at about 55°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing wild there. But the conditions? Yikes. We start off with a solid dose of poor quality. The first few days are a write-off.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a total mess. We’re lookin’ at a lot of wind and lumpy, choppy water. That S swell that comes in on Sunday morning actually packs a punch – the combined swell energy hits 1053 (moderate to strong) with wave faces around 8 ft, but with the wind blowin' straight onshore at 19 mph, it’s gonna be a washing machine. That’s big enough to be expert-only territory, but the conditions will just ruin it. Not a single session worth paddling out for.

The next week is just a grind of marginal conditions and small, weak energy. There are a few glimmers where the wind turns light offshore or glassy – like the morning of Thursday the 10th with that light N breeze at 6 mph cleanin' it up, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with a combined energy of only 44. Hardly a ripple. You’d be better off takin' a nap.

Now, we finally get a little hope. Look ahead to Monday the 14th. This is the standout in the whole window. The morning shows a northerly breeze at 3 mph hittin' that point just right, blowin’ offshore. That’ll polish up the 4 ft swell from the east. The combined energy is a solid 474 (moderate) and the period is a nice 11 seconds – that’s a groundswell with some proper shape for a point break like this. It’s not huge, but with clean conditions, this could offer some fun, lined-up waves. Just be warned, this spot can get a bit of a crowd, so if it looks good, you won’t be alone.

After that, the quality slides back again. Tuesday the 15th morning still has some clean potential with 3 ft from the east and a light offshore WNW breeze, but it's a step down in energy. Then we’re back into a long stretch of small, messy, or cross-shore crap through the rest of the second week. The morning of Saturday the 19th sees the wind go completely glassy with a 4 ft easterly swell – a real tease for a clean surf, but the wave energy is low. It would be surfable, but pretty ordinary.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half are a bust. If you’re desperate for a wave, your best bet is to pencil in Monday the 14th for a morning session. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only time in this whole forecast where the stars kinda line up. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath on the rest.

Rusty.
