The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Escolleras.
We’ve got a solid run of surf heading our way, starting Tuesday the 1st. The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a nice welcome when you first paddle out.
The first few days start with a clean, manageable 3ft swell from the SSW, but it’s the week ahead that really gets the heart pumping. The real standout is Thursday the 3rd morning. That’s the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at a clean 5ft of SSW groundswell, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wave energy is pumping at 1617 (moderate to strong), and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be an incredible session for anyone with some experience. That long period means the waves will have plenty of power and shape, but at a beach break it might run a bit straight, so keep your eyes peeled for the better peaks.
The following morning, Friday the 4th, is also a top contender. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the SSW, with a solid 17-second period and a clean, cross-off wind. The combined energy is a punchy 2124 (strong). That’s getting into expert territory at that size, so it’s not for the faint-hearted.
As we head into the second week, the swell drops a bit, but there are still plenty of fun, clean mornings. The morning of Monday the 7th sees a glassy 4ft SSW swell, and the morning of Tuesday the 8th is similar with a glassy 3ft. The consistency is fairly consistent, so you should find a wave.
The long-range stuff from the 14th onwards gets smaller, with the swell dropping to 2ft to 3ft. The morning of Wednesday the 16th looks promising with a glassy 3ft SW swell, but don’t expect the power of the first week. The confidence is lower for those later dates, so keep an eye on it.
One thing to note: this spot is a beginner-friendly wave, but when the swell pushes over 5ft, it’s going to be a handful for the less experienced. The crowds are often around here, so get in early for the best of it.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
