Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Suicidio over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming in for El Suicidio.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got a decent run of clean, surfable waves kicking off the weekend, but there’s a patchy middle section and a potentially much more interesting finale. We’ll take it day by day.
The first real window of opportunity is this Saturday (July 11th). The morning is looking tasty with a 3ft easterly swell pushing through and a light offshore breeze from the north. The energy is solid, measuring 453, and with that north wind, El Suicidio should be clean and peeling. It’s a pretty consistent point break too, so the sets should be rolling in. Keep an eye on the afternoon, though—the wind swings to a light cross-onshore and the quality drops a notch.
Sunday (July 12th) is a write-off. That north wind turns into a strong cross-onshore from the southwest, smashing up the 3ft swell. Skip it.
Monday (July 13th) is a great day to get back in the water. The morning is clear with a light cross-offshore breeze and a clean 4ft swell from the ESE. Sure, the period is short at 7 seconds, so don’t expect a ton of power, but the conditions will be super fun. The moderate wave energy (243) will keep it user-friendly for intermediates.
Tuesday (July 14th) keeps the goods coming. The morning starts with a moderate offshore breeze and a fun 4ft ESE swell. The wave energy is still moderate (238), but the clean conditions will make it a good session.
Wednesday (July 15th) is looking glassy in the morning. A light northwesterly breeze goes flat calm, and you’ve got 3ft of east swell. The energy is on the weaker side (115), so it won’t be firing, but for a small-wave board and a quiet paddle, it’ll be peaceful.
We hit a bit of a lull from Thursday (July 16th) right through to the end of the following week. We get a few clean mornings with small swell, but the quality is poor or the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. Basically, a solid week of nothing special.
Now, hold on to your boards, because things get very interesting on Saturday the 25th of July. That’s the standout of the entire outlook. Saturday morning brings a solid 7ft easterly swell (moderate energy at 859) but here’s the kicker—that’s actually getting a bit big for beginners. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the northeast, so the waves will be clean. It's going to be a proper session for the experienced crew at this point break.
Saturday afternoon the swell picks up even more, hitting 7ft from the east but the combined energy jumps to 1343—that's strong wave energy. The wind stays clean and cross-offshore. This is the one to circle on your calendar. For the advanced surfers, this could be the best session of the month. Expect big, powerful lines.
Sunday the 26th looks like a no-go with a strong onshore wind ruining the fun.
So, the clear winner here is the weekend of the 25th and 26th of July. Saturday the 25th is the best of the best. For the immediate future, grab Monday the 13th or Tuesday the 14th for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves.
Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
Rusty.
