The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for us over the next couple of weeks.

The best bet in the forecast is definitely Escolleras. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it loves a good SW swell. Right now, there’s no surf on the immediate horizon, but we’ve got a string of good days starting from Wednesday morning, August 27th.

We kick things off on Wednesday morning, August 27th, with a clean, glassy 2ft SW swell, period at 18 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means nice, well-shaped waves with plenty of energy behind them (combined energy of 593). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about.

The standout of the whole outlook is Saturday morning, August 29th. We’re looking at a solid 5ft SW swell, still a nice long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the east. The energy is strong (1797) and the waves will be clean and powerful. This one is for experienced surfers – it’s going to be a beauty. After that, Sunday morning, September 8th, also looks fantastic with a 5ft SW swell, 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is even stronger (1952), and it’s going to be another excellent session for the experienced crew.

Now, after that initial burst, there’s a bit of a lull with some marginal afternoons, but the mornings keep delivering. The first week of September is looking promising, with several mornings offering clean, glassy conditions. A highlight is Thursday morning, September 3rd, with a 5ft SSW swell and 17-second period, glassy winds, and excellent quality (1516 energy). Then Friday morning, September 4th, is another cracker: 6ft SSW swell, 17-second period, clean offshore winds, and strong energy (1807). That’s a big one, and it’s for experts only at that size. Saturday morning, September 5th, keeps the run going with a 5ft SSW swell, clean conditions, and strong energy (1300).

After that, the swell backs off a touch, but we still have some clean, glassy mornings with 4ft to 5ft SSW and SW swells, especially through the mornings of the second week. The standout there is Tuesday morning, September 8th, with that 5ft SW swell and 18-second period – glassy and packed with energy (1952). The following Wednesday morning, September 9th, is also worth a paddle with a 5ft SW swell at 16 seconds, glassy winds, and solid energy (1470).

Overall, if you can get out on the mornings – especially the August 29th Saturday, September 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th – you’ll be smiling. The afternoons are often a bit messier with onshore winds, so stick to the dawn patrol. Crowds are likely at Escolleras, so get there early.

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.

Escolleras is 11 km (7 miles) from Zihuatanejo. If you plan a holiday in Guerrero, look for hotels and other accommodation in Zihuatanejo. Zihuatanejo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
