The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Conchalio. This spot is a beginner-friendly, west-facing break, and we’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, with some real gems in the morning slots.
Monday morning, July 27, is the pick of the bunch. You’ve got a 5ft SSW swell, with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is dead flat – glassy. The combined energy is strong at 1496. That’s a groundswell with some serious push, and the clean conditions will make for some beautiful lines. It’s a bit on the bigger side for true beginners, but for anyone with a little experience, this is the session to get wet. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Tuesday morning, July 28, is another cracker. 6ft from the SSW, 18 seconds, and glassy again. Energy is even higher at 1859. Another morning of pure, clean groundswell. The afternoons turn onshore, so get out early.
Wednesday morning, July 29, holds at 6ft, with a 16-second period and cross-offshore wind, so it’s clean. Energy at 1375. Good waves, but not as flawless as the glassy mornings.
Thursday, July 30, and Friday, July 31, drop to 4ft and 4ft, but still with glassy mornings. The period drops to 14 seconds, so it’s a bit more everyday, but the conditions will be clean. Energy is in the 500-700 range.
Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, get smaller – 3ft and 2ft. The mornings are glassy, but the afternoon thunderstorms and onshore wind ruin it. Energy is weak, under 330. Surfable for a longboard, but nothing special.
Monday, August 3, through Thursday, August 6, are pretty flat. Swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, with energy under 185. Some glassy mornings, but the waves are barely there. A real lull in the middle of the week.
Then Friday, August 7, we see a little pulse: 2ft, but the period jumps back to 18 seconds, energy at 460. Glassy morning. Saturday, August 8, shapes up nicely – 4ft to 4ft, 15-16 seconds, glassy all day Saturday, with energy in the 700s. That Saturday morning is another standout: clean, decent-sized, long-period SSW groundswell. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might see a few others, but it’s worth it.
Sunday, August 9, holds 4ft in the morning with cross-offshore wind, but the afternoon gets choppy. After that, the second week fades again through Monday and Tuesday, with smaller waves and more onshore afternoons.
Your best bets are Monday morning, July 27, and Saturday morning, August 8. Both are glassy, clean, and have that long-period SSW groundswell. The Monday session is the bigger, more powerful one, but the Saturday session is a solid runner-up. Dawn patrol is the move – the afternoons just don’t deliver.

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.
