The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the forecast for Escolleras. This spot is a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and it’s set to handle a good run of SSW to SW groundswell over the next couple of weeks. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 88°, which is a nice little bonus. The combined swell energy is mostly in the moderate range, with a few standout days pushing into that strong zone.

We kick off Monday morning, 7 September, with a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, period a solid 14 seconds, and a light NE breeze off the land. The energy’s reading 790 (moderate), and it’s lookin’ very good. Monday afternoon gets a bit iffy with onshore wind, so make the most of the morning.

Tuesday morning, 8 September, drops a touch to 3ft, but the wind is glassy out of the north. That’s a proper session for the beginner crew—clean, easy, and the energy’s still there at 498. Wednesday morning, 9 September, picks up again with 3ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and that NNE offshore wind. It’s clean and very good.

Thursday morning, 10 September, is a solid call: 4ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze out of the north. Energy’s at 885 (moderate). It’s looking very good. Friday morning, 11 September, is the same size and direction, but with glassy conditions—absolutely pristine. Get out there.

Now, for the standout. Tuesday morning, 15 September, is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got 4ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, with zero wind—dead calm and glassy. The combined energy is 1054 (strong). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers, clean as a whistle, and that long period will make the waves reel off nicely. It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it.

Wednesday morning, 16 September, has a risk of thunderstorms and 5ft swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s marginal. Skip it. Thursday morning, 17 September, bounces back with 4ft from the SSW, glassy conditions, and a very good rating. The energy’s 823 (moderate).

The second week keeps things ticking. Saturday morning, 19 September, has 3ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, and glassy winds—very good and clean. Sunday morning, 20 September, is glassy with 3ft from the SW, period 19 seconds, and energy at 932 (moderate). Very good again.

But the real long-range standout is Monday morning, 21 September. 4ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, glassy conditions, and energy at 1118 (strong). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers, and it’s the best of the second week. The following Tuesday morning, 22 September, is also very good with 4ft and glassy winds.

A couple of things to keep in mind: this long-period groundswell (over 15 seconds) can break a bit straight at some beach breaks, but Escolleras handles it well. The crowds are marked as “often” here, so expect company, especially on those clean mornings. If you’re a beginner, stay away from the 4ft+ days—that’s getting a bit big. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with onshore or cross-onshore winds, so stick to the mornings.

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.
