Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conchalio over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Conchalio. This is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break that’s exposed to the west. The water is 86° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
The real standout kicks off the whole period. Friday morning, the 10th of July, is looking like the best on offer. There’s a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period. The ocean is glassy, with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. The wave energy is moderate (508), and with conditions that clean, it’s going to be a treat for anyone on a longboard or a foamie. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
Saturday morning, the 11th, sees the swell bump up slightly to 4ft, still from the SSW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy builds to moderate-strong (705), and it’s glassy again. This is a close second to Friday, but the long period could make it a bit walled off at a beach break – still, the wind is perfect.
By Sunday morning, the 12th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft with a period of 14 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. Clean conditions with moderate energy (528) make for a fun morning, but it’s not quite as good as the two days before.
The early part of the next week, from Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 16th, the swell sits around 2ft to 3ft. The mornings offer clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds, but the energy dips into the 200-300 range. It’s still surfable for beginners, but nothing to write home about. The afternoons get choppy and onshore, so stick to the early sessions.
There’s a gap of a few days with no real standouts, but look ahead to the 25th of July. That Saturday morning, a fresh SSW swell moves in with a massive 22-second period and 2ft of swell. The energy jumps to 647 (moderate-strong) and it’s glassy calm. This is a promising long-range call, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it. The long period will really suit this exposed beach break, but the sets will be very spread out.
Overall, the first weekend is your best bet. Friday morning, the 10th, is the clear winner.
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.
