The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Playa-Conchalio in feet and miles per hour. The first few days are a bit of a bust, with a weak, choppy SSW swell.
Tuesday afternoon is a write-off – cross-on wind and poor surf. The water’s a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year.
Things look a little cleaner from Wednesday morning, the 15th. We’ve got a short-period 3ft SSW swell with a light cross-off breeze, making for some clean waves. It’s not huge, but it’s a start. The mornings through to Saturday the 18th all show clean conditions with light winds, but the swell stays small, around 2ft to 3ft. The energy is moderate, ranging from 291 to 384. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then on Sunday the 19th, we get a little taste of something special. The morning shows glassy conditions with a 2ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (354). Those long-period swells can be a bit tricky at a beach break, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be tempting.
The real standout, though, is the following week. Monday the 20th morning is glassy again, with a 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, and energy climbing to 458 (moderate). It’s clean and promising.
But the big one is Saturday the 25th of July. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft SSW swell and a very long 21-second period. The energy is strong at 1011 (strong). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction is a good match for the spot’s optimum W direction. This is the best on offer.
Sunday the 26th morning is also a standout – clean offshore wind, a 4ft SSW swell, 19-second period, and energy at 1025 (strong). Another excellent session for the experienced crew.
The swell keeps coming into Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th. The 28th morning is glassy, with a 5ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and energy at 1155 (very strong). This is solid, but at 5ft, it’s getting up there. For the experienced surfer, this is a dream run. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’ll be worth it.
So, the first week is a bit of a slow burn with small, clean waves. The real gold is in the second week, from the 20th onward, with the 25th and 26th being the absolute best. The 28th also looks incredible. Mark your calendar.

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.
