Conchalio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Conchalio. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely a few windows where this place is going to be working its magic.

The overall pattern is one of small, clean surf in the mornings, with the afternoons getting chopped up by that onshore breeze. You’ll want to be an early bird to get the best of it. The swell energy is mostly moderate, hovering in that lower range through the first week, but it builds into some stronger territory by the second week.

The water’s sitting at 86.7°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.

Looking at the first standout, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are looking proper. Saturday morning we've got clean 3.3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping. Sunday morning is even glassier with a touch more size at 3.9ft. These are your best bets for the first week, offering some clean, lined-up waves.

Before that, the mornings on the 4th, 5th, and 6th are surfable but small, with 1.6-2.0ft on offer. The wind is light and glassy, but the energy is a bit weak. The 7th sees a nice bump in period to 18 seconds, bringing a bit more push, but the afternoon turns to junk.

After the weekend, the mornings of the 10th, 11th, and 12th will give you clean but smaller waves again, in the 2.6-3.0ft range. Nothing to write home about, but still fun on the right board.

Then we get to the real highlight of the whole run. Saturday the 15th of August. The morning is looking excellent. The swell jumps to a solid 4.6ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is strong. The wind is light and cross-offshore, setting up some clean, powerful lines. This is the standout session for sure. It’s a bit bigger, so it might be pushing it for beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s going to be a proper day.

The day before, Friday the 14th, also has a great morning with 3.0ft and an 18-second period, and the energy is building. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the 15th has the size and the power.

The second week stays active. The 16th and 17th have more clean mornings, and the 19th rounds things out with a glassy 3.0ft. It's all trade-offable, but the 15th is the clear winner.

Remember, this Conchalio spot is fairly consistent, so even the smaller days will have waves. Just get out there before the seabreeze kicks in.
