The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s coming through. The first few days are a total flat spell, so save your energy. The real action kicks off Thursday the 10th.
Thursday morning the 10th at Conchalio gets a 1.0m SSW swell, but with a long 17-second period – that’s groundswell with some proper grunt (930 energy). The wind is light offshore from the NE, glassy clean. Water temp is a toasty 31°, which is a touch warmer than usual.
Friday the 11th morning is even better – dead calm, glassy, zero wind. The swell drops to 16 seconds but holds at 1.2m from the SW (729 energy). This is the best session of the early run: clean, smooth, and no crowds.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th mornings offer glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 1.0m and 0.7m, and the period shortens to 14 and 13 seconds. Energy drops to 425 and then 185. It’s rideable, but you’ll be hunting.
Now, for the second week, keep an eye on Tuesday morning the 15th – 0.7m SSW, 18-second swell, glassy, energy at 559. That’s a sleeper. Wednesday morning the 16th is the real standout: 1.3m SSW swell, 16 seconds, glassy offshore, 990 energy. That’s as good as it gets. Circle that date.
Further out, Monday morning the 21st delivers 0.9m from the SSW at 18 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore wind and energy at 1068. The afternoon of the 21st is a monster – 4.0m from the SSW but with a short 9-second period and a cross-shore breeze. That’s over 2.5m – expert-only territory, and the energy reading is 2848. That’s more of a kite-surf day for the average surfer.
Best bets: Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th, and especially Wednesday the 16th mornings. For the long-range, Monday morning the 21st is promising, but the afternoon is for the brave.
Stay stoked.

Information about the Conchalio Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Conchalio provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Conchalio can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Conchalio 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 (Conchalio) 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 Conchalio 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.
Conchalio is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of La Libertad. If you plan a holiday in El-Salvador - Costa del Balsamo, look for hotels and other accommodation in La Libertad. La Libertad has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
