Conchalio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, this is Rusty comin' at ya with the lowdown for Playa-Conchalio.

We're lookin' at a pretty steady run of swell over the next couple of weeks, with the real magic lining up for the early mornings. The southeast trade winds are gonna be our best friend here, keeping things glassy and clean for the dawn patrol more often than not.

Alright, let's start with the good stuff. This Friday the 3rd, it's game on for the morning. We've got a 4ft groundswell out of the SSW, with a solid 15-second period pushing in some proper energy (537). And the wind? Dead calm, glassy as a mirror. It's a dreamy setup for a beginner-friendly wave that'll have you grinning ear to ear.

The weekend keeps the pattern going. Saturday and Sunday mornings are both looking clean with that slight air movement, offering 3ft and 3ft of that same long-period SSW groundswell. It's not huge, but it's plenty of fun for a long session without getting pounded.

Now, if you're a bit more experienced, keep an eye on Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th. The swell is building. Monday morning hits 4ft, but the wave energy is kicking up to a moderate 1001. Tuesday morning is where it starts to shine for the more experienced crew – 4ft of clean, glassy surf with wave energy ramping up to a strong 1452. And then Wednesday the 8th morning? That's the standout for the experts. 5ft of pure, glassy SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, generating a strong 1261 energy. This will be a proper standout, with those longer gaps between sets making it easier to get out the back.

For the rest of the first week and into the second, the mornings continue to offer clean, rideable waves. The swell holds around 3ft to 4ft through to the 11th, with a great glassy window on the morning of Saturday the 11th.

After a bit of a drop-off around the 13th and 14th, where waves get pretty small, things pick up again for the more promising window on the 15th. Wednesday morning the 15th has a clean, offshore NNE breeze blowing into a 3ft SSW swell – that's a fun combo. The run of glassy mornings continues right through to the end of the forecast, with the 18th offering another clean, cross-off breeze on a 3ft SSW swell.

One thing I've got to mention – since Conchalio is an exposed W-facing spot, and we get a fair bit of that long-period, 15-16 second groundswell, those beach breaks might feel a little too straight. This setup is best for the points and reefs if you can find 'em. Also, the water temp is sittin' about average for the time of year, so you won't need a full winter suit, but a springy might be your best mate on those cooler July mornings.

Keep in mind the crowds can pop up here sometimes, so get in early for the cleanest, emptiest waves. This is a consistent little run. It's not all-time, but if you're a beginner or intermediate surfer, there's a whole lot of fun to be had over the next 16 days.

Rusty.
