The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. We’re looking at El Suicidio, a point break that’s fairly consistent. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, 1 August. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the east with a 9-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at 209, and the conditions are looking good. This is a solid call for an intermediate surfer. Crowds are possible, so don’t be surprised if you see a few others.
Saturday afternoon the wind goes cross-onshore and the surf fades. Sunday is tiny – 2ft and 0.7ft – not worth it.
Monday 3 August is small but clean. A 2ft to 3ft SSE swell with light winds. The energy is around 149 to 181, so it’s surfable but nothing special.
Tuesday 4 August is a mess with onshore winds.
The big highlight is Saturday 8 August morning. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the south with a 12-second period. The combined energy is a massive 3134, which is strong to very strong. The wind is offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. This is a proper groundswell. At 8ft, this is for experts only. It’s the best of the whole period, but it’s a week away, so keep tabs.
Sunday 9 August is blown out.
Monday 10 August morning brings a clean 5ft SSE swell with a 13-second period. Offshore light winds from the WNW make it very clean. Energy is 775, so moderate to strong. This is a good option for intermediates.
The second week fades away with small swells and onshore winds.
So, the best of the bunch is Saturday 8 August morning for the big south swell, but it’s expert territory. Next best is Monday 10 August morning for a cleaner, more manageable size. Saturday 1 August morning is also a decent start.
That’s the word.
