Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conchalio over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming. We’ve got a run of small, clean waves stretching across the next couple of weeks, with a couple of mornings that are proper standouts. Water temp is 86°F, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the warm side.
The first real action is Sunday morning, July 12th, at Conchalio. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (530). The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions,” and at this size, it’s a nice beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon turns cross-on, so the morning is definitely the call.
Monday morning, July 13th, is glassy. The swell eases to 3ft, but it’s silky clean. Energy is moderate (353). The afternoon gets choppy, so get out early.
From Tuesday, July 14th, through to Saturday, July 18th, we have a string of clean mornings. Light offshore or glassy winds, with swell hanging around 3ft to 3ft. Energy ranges from 328 to 427, so it’s on the weaker side of moderate, but the conditions are clean. Thursday afternoon, July 16th, is a real beauty – glassy and 3ft, the best of the afternoons.
Sunday morning, July 19th, is a standout. The swell drops to 2ft, but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. Energy is moderate (356) and the wind is offshore. This is a reef or point-break special; the waves will have shape and punch, though the long period can make beach breaks a bit straight. At Conchalio, it’ll be a fun session.
The second week stays small but consistent. Monday, July 20th, through Wednesday, July 22nd, all have clean mornings with 3ft to 3ft SSW to SW swell and periods in the 13-16 second range. Energy is moderate. Reliable, fun mornings for a longboard.
The real highlight is Monday, July 27th. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SW swell and an 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 844 – that’s strong, powerful energy. This is the best wave of the whole forecast. It’s a long period groundswell, so it’ll have plenty of grunt and shape, but it’s not too big for a confident intermediate. The afternoon gets onshore, so the morning session is the one.
There’s a gap of a few days of smaller, weaker surf between July 22nd and this standout, but it’s well worth the wait.

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.
