The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Playa-Conchalio over the next couple weeks.
The story is small, long-period groundswell from the southwest, but the real selling point is the quality of the morning conditions. We’re talking plenty of glassy, clean windows with near-calm or light offshore winds, which is a huge win for this exposed break.
The absolute standout is Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th. Saturday morning brings 4ft of SW swell with a 16-second period, glassy conditions, and water temp at 87°, which is a touch warmer than average. The combined energy is strong (777). That’s a proper session. Sunday morning is just as good: 4ft of SW swell, 15-second period, and glassy again (503 energy). These two mornings are the clear winners.
The consistency is fair to good, but the afternoon wind at Conchalio (Playa-Conchalio) usually swings onshore or cross-on, so it’s strictly a dawn patrol kind of spot. The break is exposed and picks up the SW swell well, but those long-period swells can be a bit straight at beach breaks, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a more wrapping wave.
This is a beginner-friendly wave, and the swell height stays in the 1ft to 4ft range, so it’s manageable for all levels. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but getting out early on those glassy mornings is your best bet for a quiet lineup.
The first week has some goodies too. Monday the 3rd starts with a glassy 3ft SW swell (303 energy), and Friday the 7th morning offers a tiny 2ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions (313 energy). The best of the first week is Saturday the 8th morning: 3ft of SSW swell, 16 seconds, with clean cross-off winds (621 energy). That’s a solid session.
The pattern is clear: morning glory, afternoon story. The forecasts are reliable for the near-term, and the long-range Saturday and Sunday look really promising.
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.
