Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards, mainly focused on consistent SSW groundswell. It’s not gonna be giant, but there’s plenty of quality sessions to be had, especially if you can pick your windows.
Kicking off from Sunday, July 5th, there’s already some surf in the water. But the real standout kicks off Monday, July 6th. Conchalio is the spot to be. The swell is sitting around 4 ft from the SSW with a super long 16-second period – that’s pure groundswell, meaning proper shape and power. The combined energy is already ramping up (1001), and with the wind going cross-offshore at just 3 mph, the morning session is looking clean. But honestly, the best of the bunch might be Monday afternoon: glassy conditions, swell holding at 3 ft, and the period stretching out to a ridiculous 20 seconds. The energy shoots up to 1312. That's the kind of session you wait for.
Tuesday July 7th keeps the momentum. That morning is pure glass with 4 ft SSW swell at 18 seconds – energy is a solid 1452. It’s a bit meaty but still manageable for most. Just a heads up, Tuesday afternoon the wind swings onshore and the swell pushes 5 ft, so if you’re a beginner, stick to the morning.
Wednesday July 8th is another ripper morning. 5 ft of clean SSW groundswell with glassy ENE wind. Energy is still pumping at 1191. For experienced surfers, it’s going to be a cracker. After that, we see a gradual drop-off through Thursday and Friday, but the mornings remain glassy and the swell stays around 3 ft to 4 ft. Thursday July 9th has no wind and 4 ft of 15-second swell – that’s a really clean, fun morning with 780 energy. Friday July 10th is similar, with 3 ft of long-period swell.
The second week, from around Sunday July 12th onward, the swell backs off a bit, settling into that consistent 3 ft to 3 ft range. The mornings are still the go-to with light winds, but the energy drops into the 300-600 range. Not as punchy, but still fun. You’ll want to hit the glassy windows, like Wednesday July 15th morning (3 ft, 14 seconds) or Sunday July 19th morning (3 ft, 15 seconds) with no wind at all. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with onshore wind and chop.
Overall, the real standout is Monday July 6th afternoon – that 3 ft, 20-second period glassy session is the one to circle on the calendar. For the bigger, punchier, glassy mornings, aim for Tuesday July 7th and Wednesday July 8th.
Stay stoked, and I’ll catch you in the water.

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.
