Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m checkin’ out the next couple weeks. The water’s sittin’ at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus while you’re bobbing out the back.
We’re kicking off with Thursday morning at Conchalio. It’s gonna be clean with a 4ft SSW swell and a period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, giving you long, lined-up waves. The combined energy is at 784 – that’s solid moderate power. The wind is light from the north, slightly offshore, so expect glassy faces. This is a standout session. The break is consistent and exposed to the west, which is the sweet spot for this direction. Because it’s a beginner-friendly spot, these waist-to-chest high waves are perfect for a crowd, and you can expect some company – it’s ‘sometimes’ crowded, but worth it.
Friday morning keeps the fun rolling with a little smaller – 3ft SSW swell, still 15 seconds and 509 energy. But the wind goes glassy from the NNE. You can’t beat that. Saturday morning and Sunday morning are also looking prime: 4ft to 4ft SSW swells, still long period, with glassy ENE winds. The energy stays in the moderate range, 530 to 755. The afternoons get a bit crumbly with onshore winds, so get your waves early.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th mornings are a step down in size – 3ft to 3ft – but still with that long-period SSW pulse and glassy conditions. The energy drops to the 328-388 range, but clean surf is clean surf. Wednesday the 15th morning gives you offshore NE wind and 3ft swell – clean again.
There’s a little gap in quality from Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning, with onshore winds and some thunderstorm risk, but Saturday morning the 18th is dead calm with a 3ft SSW groundswell. Glassy perfection.
Sunday the 19th morning brings a new swell – 2ft SW with a very long 19-second period. That’s a super long period groundswell, so it’ll wrap in better at this point break setup. The energy is 352, and it’s glassy. Not big, but the quality of the wave will be top-notch.
From there, the second week is a bit of a drop-off. Monday the 20th to Wednesday the 22nd mornings offer clean, small waves – 2ft to 3ft SW and SSW swells – fine for a longboard or a beginner session, but no real punch. The afternoons get chopped up by the onshore wind.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th mornings bring a shift to a S swell, 12-14 seconds, still small at 2ft to 2ft, but the cross-offshore winds (NNE then ESE) keep the surface clean. The energy is lower now, in the 200s. It’s still surfable, just not the kind you’d set your alarm for.
Overall, the standout days are Thursday morning July 9th, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings up through July 12th. Those are your best bets for clean, waist-to-chest high groundswell with light offshore or glassy wind. Don’t sleep on the Sunday the 19th morning either – that long-period SW groundswell is gonna peel nicely.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
