The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Escolleras. This is the only spot firing in the outlook, and it’s a good one for beginners and anyone wanting a clean wave. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
We start Sunday morning, August 2nd, with a small 2ft SSW swell, glassy, and light wind. The energy is moderate (292). Monday and Tuesday mornings are the same story – glassy, clean, little waves around 2ft to 3ft from the SSW. The afternoons get blown out, so stick to the mornings.
Wednesday morning, August 5th, brings a 2ft SW swell with a long 15-second period – that’ll give the waves some shape. Energy is moderate (247). Thursday morning stays clean with a 2ft SSW swell. Then Friday morning, August 7th, is the first real standout: a 3ft SSW swell, 18-second period, dead calm, glassy. Energy is strong (784). That’s a proper session for a beginner spot – clean, lined up, and easy.
Second week starts Saturday morning, August 8th, with a 4ft SSW swell and clean conditions – strong energy (811). Sunday morning is similar. Monday, August 10th, has a 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind. Then Friday morning, August 14th, is the big one: a 4ft SW swell, 18-second period, glassy, and energy at 1042 – very strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and even at 4ft, the long period will make it punchy. Escolleras is a beach break, so it might close out a bit, but with those clean conditions, it’s worth it.
Saturday morning, August 15th, still holds a 4ft SW swell with offshore wind, and Sunday morning, August 16th, wraps up with a clean 3ft SW swell. Monday the 17th morning has a 4ft SSW swell, glassy again – no real gaps.
Crowds are likely at Escolleras, so get there early. The best bets are Friday August 7th morning for the glassy, long-period goodness, and Friday August 14th morning for the bigger, more powerful swell.

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.
