Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the local stretch. Escolleras is showing some life over the next couple of weeks, and there are a few windows of clean, lined-up swell you’ll want to know about.
The first week kicks off with a nice, consistent pulse of SSW groundswell. Thursday morning, the 9th of July, we’ve got clean 4ft surf with a cross-off breeze and a solid 15-second period. The water temp is right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate (866), and the waves will have real shape. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at that size, and the swell direction is a good match for the spot. Expect a few other folks out – it’s often busy here.
But the real standout for the early part of the run is Saturday morning, the 11th of July. Clean 4ft surf again, cross-off wind from the east, and that long-period groundswell from the SSW. The energy is solid (784), and the conditions will be pure joy. It’s a perfect morning for a longboard or a funboard.
The next week has a couple of bigger, more serious days. The highlight is Wednesday morning, the 15th of July. The swell jumps to 7ft from the south, with a period of 10 seconds. This is a solid, powerful wave that’s only for experienced surfers. The wind is glassy, and the energy is strong (1001). This is a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon will get messy with a thunderstorm risk and onshore wind, so get it early.
There’s a gap in the middle of the week, but it picks up again. The final standout is a promising call for Tuesday morning, the 21st of July. Expect 5ft of clean SW groundswell, glassy conditions, and strong energy (1066). It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a ripper.
Overall, Escolleras has a great run of surfable days, with the absolute best being the mornings on the 11th and 15th of July. The 15th is for the experts only at 7ft. Get out there.
Rusty.

Information about the Escolleras Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Escolleras provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Escolleras can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Escolleras surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Escolleras) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Escolleras may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
