Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming up at Conchalio. This is a solid run of surf, no doubt about it.
We’re looking at a consistent pulse of SSW groundswell rolling in, starting right away on Monday, July 6th. The wave energy is moderate to strong, hitting around 908 on the combined energy scale. It kicks off with a clean 3 ft morning, but the wind is offshore from the NE, so the face will be clean. The real standout though is Tuesday, July 7th. That morning is pure glass – calm NNE wind, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft with a long 18-second period. The energy jumps to 1452, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your pick of the forecast. Wednesday morning, July 8th, is a close second, with another glassy morning and a 5 ft swell riding a 16-second period. Thursday, July 9th, is also worth a mention, with a dead calm, glassy morning and 4 ft swell.
After that first week, the swell slowly backs off into the second week, but it doesn't die. From about July 13th, we’re looking at smaller surf in the 2 ft to 3 ft range. The energy drops into the low to mid 300s, and the period shortens up a bit to 13-14 seconds. The wind stays favorable for clean mornings, often glassy or with a light offshore component, so you’ll still get a wave, just not with the same punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprise there.
Conchalio is a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, and exposed to the W swell direction, which lines up nicely with the SSW we’re getting. The crowds can pop up sometimes, especially on those cleaner mornings. For the absolute best, lock in that Tuesday, July 7th morning session. After that, Wednesday and Thursday mornings that first week are your next best bets.
Rusty.

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.
