The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of small, clean groundswell on the way, and the mornings are where it’s at. The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
The first real opportunity to paddle out is Thursday morning, August 7th. We’re looking at a little 2ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period. The wind is glassy, and while the swell is small, those long lines will have some shape. That same day, the afternoon turns to slop, so get it while you can.
The standout window is Saturday morning, August 8th, and Sunday morning, August 9th. Saturday morning is glassy with a 3ft, 16-second SSW groundswell that’s pumping moderate energy (621). That’s the pick of the first week. Sunday morning is nearly identical with a 4ft, 14-second SSW groundswell (593) and glassy conditions. Both mornings are clean perfection for a beginner-friendly wave like Conchalio.
The next big one to circle on your calendar is Friday morning, August 14th. That’s a 4ft, 18-second SSW groundswell with strong energy (851) and dead calm conditions. That’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely, and with zero wind, it’s going to be silky smooth.
Then, the absolute best of the entire forecast lands on Saturday morning, August 15th. We’re talking a 5ft, 16-second SW groundswell with very strong energy (945) and glassy winds. That’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the run, and for a spot like Conchalio, that’s a dream session. If you can only paddle out one day, make it this one.
Following that, Sunday morning, August 16th, is another cracker with a 4ft, 15-second SW groundswell (692) and glassy conditions, plus the afternoon even turns offshore with a clean 9 mph breeze from the NNE. It’s rare to get that combo.
The second week keeps the good vibes rolling. The mornings of the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st all offer clean, glassy conditions with solid 3ft to 3ft SSW groundswell. The 21st of August has a nice offshore wind from the NNE, keeping things clean all day. It’s a consistent run for a spot that’s fairly consistent, so don’t sleep on it.
Keep in mind, Conchalio is a beginner-friendly beach break, and it can get crowded sometimes. The 5ft swell on the 15th is pushing the limit for newer surfers, but the rest of the forecast is pure fun. The combined energy values are mostly in the moderate to strong range, so there’s enough push to have a good time.
Stay stoked, and I’ll catch you in the lineup.

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.
