The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the forecast for Escolleras.
The coming days are looking pretty darn good for experienced surfers, with some proper SW groundswell rolling in. The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal for late July, sitting at 88°, which is nice.
We kick off on Sunday afternoon the 26th. The swell is already up at a solid 5 ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period, giving us a strong 1856 units of energy. The wind is a bit onshore though, so conditions are marginal from the get-go.
Monday the 27th is where it gets real. The morning is the standout. We’ve got a clean 6 ft SW groundswell, period even longer at 17 seconds, and the wind is light NNE at 3 mph, blowing offshore. That’s clean, lined-up surf for those who know what they're doing. The energy is pumping at 2288. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so get it early.
Tuesday the 28th is another gem. The swell bumps up to a powerful 7 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. The combined energy is massive at 2616. Both the morning and afternoon are glassy with light offshore wind. This is the best of the whole run – big, clean, and powerful. It's over 5 ft, so definitely not one for the beginners.
Wednesday the 29th morning keeps that glassy quality with a 6 ft SSW swell. Still excellent. The afternoon gets a bit choppy as the wind swings cross-onshore.
Thursday the 30th morning is glassy again, with the swell dropping a touch to 5 ft from the SSW, period shortening to 14 seconds. Still excellent conditions for the experienced crew. The afternoons consistently turn choppy with a cross-onshore breeze.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st see the swell drop further, but the mornings stay clean and glassy. By Sunday the 2nd, it’s down to ankle-snatchers at 3 ft.
We then hit a flat spell. From Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th of August, there's barely any swell worth paddling for. A few knee-high waves at best, and the conditions are ordinary.
Thursday the 6th is a write-off, but Friday the 7th shows a pulse of new life. The morning brings back a clean 4 ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period and cross-offshore wind. Energy is back up over 1000. That’s a promising sign for the second week.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th mornings keep it going with clean 4 ft waves under light offshore winds. By Monday the 10th, it fades again.
So, the absolute standouts are Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th mornings. That’s the peak of the swell with glassy conditions. Go get it.
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.
