The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Manglecito are a total write-off. This reef-and-point is a solid advanced wave when it’s on, and it’s fairly consistent normally, but the forecast is serving up absolutely nothing rideable. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
From Tuesday 14 July right through to Wednesday 29 July, every single session gets a “poor surf conditions” stamp. The swell if it shows at all is tiny – a miserable 0.7 ft to 1 ft out of the north (N) with periods mostly under 9 s, occasionally a bit longer near the end. The combined energy never cracks 50 (max is 47 on Sunday 26 July) – that’s weak stuff, barely a bump. Winds aren’t the enemy either: mostly cross-off from S/SSE at 6–16 mph, and on Sunday 26 July there’s a glassy afternoon with only 3 mph from the SSE. But even then the swell is still 1 ft of short-period north energy. That’s not surf, it’s a pond.
There’s no standout day, not even one worth mentioning. The entire 16‑day window is a gap of zero recommendations. This happens sometimes when the swell pattern shuts off completely – don’t lose hope, forecasts can flip, but for now there’s nothing. Wait for the next change.
Rusty.

Information about the Manglecito Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Manglecito provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Manglecito can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Manglecito 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 (Manglecito) 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 Manglecito 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.
