The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.

We’ve got a cracking run of surf coming up, starting right now and rolling through the first week. The opening couple of days are clean but mellow, before a proper pulse of solid SW groundswell pushes in mid-week.

Tuesday 1st kicks things off with clean, waist-high sets at Escolleras. Swell is 3ft from the SSW with a nice 13-second period, and with a light offshore NNE breeze, it’s glassy. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 87°. The wave energy is moderate (518). Good for a gentle paddle. Expect very good conditions.

Wednesday 2nd is where it gets real. Morning sees the swell bump up to 5ft from the SW with a 10-second period, and the energy jumps to 1129. The wind is light, cross-off from the NNW, keeping it clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at over 5ft, beginners might find it a bit much. The afternoon turns choppy as the wind goes cross-on.

Thursday 3rd morning is a standout. Glassy conditions, swell 5ft from the SSW, but the period stretches to a very long 18 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1601. This is proper groundswell. The long period will make for powerful, well-shaped waves at this exposed spot, but be aware, long-period swells can break a bit straight on beach breaks. Here at Escolleras, a point or reef setup would handle it better. Still, for an experienced surfer, this is magic.

Friday 4th morning is another gem. Glassy again, with 6ft of SW swell at 17 seconds and massive energy (2074). This is the biggest and most powerful of the run. This is expert territory at over 8ft. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the SSW, so hit it early.

Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th mornings both offer glassy, clean surf as the swell slowly eases from 6ft down to 5ft. Still excellent for experienced riders, with strong energy readings (1605 and 1213). The afternoons get choppy.

Monday 7th through Wednesday 9th the swell backs off to 3-4ft, but the mornings remain glassy and clean. Good for getting back on a longboard.

Thursday 10th sees a small bump back up to 4ft from the SW with 16-second period and moderate energy (931). Glassy morning.

From Friday 11th into the second week, the surf gets smaller and less consistent. The mornings stay glassy with clean 3ft to 4ft surf, but the energy drops off. There are no real standouts for the second week – just small, clean waves for a log or a foamy.

The best of the whole period is Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th mornings. Big, long-period groundswell, glassy conditions, and serious power. Expert surfers, that’s your window.

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.
