Conchalio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Playa-Conchalio over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, there’s no surf worth paddling out for right now. The first real opportunity kicks off on the morning of Thursday the 10th, but it’s a bit of a tease with just 4ft of SW swell. The wind is onshore and the conditions are only marginal, so don’t get too excited. The water is sitting at a warm 87° and that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – makes for a pleasant wait on the sand.

The standout window is the morning of Friday the 11th. We’ve got a clean 4ft SW swell with a nice long 16-second period. The wind goes dead glassy, absolutely zero, and the forecast is for very good surf. This is the one you point the car at. The wave energy is solid (729) and the break is exposed to the west swell, so it’ll be working. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it’s consistent and clean. Keep in mind crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Saturday morning the 12th is also worth a look. Swell eases to 3ft from the SW, period drops to 14 seconds, but again, glassy conditions make for clean little runners. A good backup session.

After that, the swell backs off into Sunday the 13th, and the onshore winds in the afternoons kill the vibe. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th mornings both have glassy conditions but the swell is small – 2ft and 2ft – though on Tuesday the energy picks up a bit (493).

The next real highlight comes on the morning of Wednesday the 16th. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, glassy winds, and very good conditions forecast. The energy is pumping at 996. That’s a solid morning for a longboard or a funboard, and with that long period it’ll be a bit walled up at the beach – but clean.

Thursday the 17th morning keeps the run going: 4ft SW, 14 seconds, and dead calm. Another glassy gem.

The following week sees a bit more variety. Mornings on Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th have clean-ish conditions but much smaller swell around 2ft, though the period on Friday is a very long 20 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell – best for the points and reefs, though here at Conchalio it might be a little too straight for a beach break. Energy is still moderate (581).

The real wildcard is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd. It’s got light rain but glassy wind, 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the forecast is for very good surf. The energy is moderate (599). If the rain doesn’t put you off, it could be a sneaky clean session.

The following Wednesday morning the 23rd also gets a very good rating with clean cross-offshore winds and the same 3ft SW swell. That’s another one to pencil in.

Overall, the peak is clearly Friday morning the 11th and Wednesday morning the 16th. The rest of the period has small but sometimes glassy windows, so keep your expectations low and your wetsuit handy.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
