The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the imperial breakdown.
Let's talk about Conchalio. This is an exposed beach break that’s about to get a solid dose of long-period groundswell from the SSW. Water temp is normal for this time of year, nothing special.
The real standout is Sunday morning, July 26. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a super long 19-second period. The wave energy is pumping at 1022 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is glassy out of the SE. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves. The long period means the sets will have a nice gap between them, making it easier to get out, but those waves will have some punch. It’s best for experienced surfers because of the power. Crowds are possible, so be ready to share.
Monday morning, July 27 is right there with it. A little bigger at 5ft, same long-period groundswell, and the energy is even higher at 1496. Glassy conditions again. This is top-notch, but that 5ft mark on a long period swell is a step up. It’s for the confident surfer.
Tuesday morning, July 28 is the peak in size – 6ft of swell with a massive 2027 energy reading. That’s a lot of power. The wind is light cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy. This is expert-only. At a beach break, that long period can make the waves jack up and close out, so it might be a bit of a washing machine. Honestly, this day looks more like a kite surfer’s dream than a paddle surfer’s.
From Thursday morning, July 30, the swell eases. We’ve got a nice 4ft swell with a 14-second period and flat calm, glassy conditions. The energy is down to 721, but it’s clean. Friday morning, July 31 is similar – 4ft, glassy. Nice, fun waves.
Then we hit a long flat spell. From Saturday afternoon, August 1 through to Wednesday, August 6, it’s small and weak. Knee-high at best, with a lot of onshore wind. The energy drops below 300. It’s a real lull.
Thursday morning, August 6 gives a tiny pulse – 3ft, 15-second period, glassy. It’s surfable but small.
Monday morning, August 10 is the last little hope. A clean 2ft, 16-second period swell with a light offshore breeze from the NNE. Energy is 430, weak but clean. It’s a small-wave morning for the longboard.
So, the call is clear: this Sunday morning is the one to circle. Get after it.
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.
