The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Playa-Conchalio. The start of the outlook is actually pretty solid, with a nice run of clean, glassy mornings. The swell is a clean SSW groundswell with a very long period of 24 seconds, pumping in a lot of energy (1166). That’s serious, high-quality juice for the experienced surfer, but that long period means it’ll be better at a point or reef than a straight beach break. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The standout is Friday morning, July 24th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft from the SSW with a 24-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (1166). It’s a real sweet spot for the experienced surfer, but you’ll have to share the waves – crowds are sometimes a thing here. Another top pick is Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft, still with that long, powerful 21-second period, and the wind is glassy again. Energy is still strong (1115). Conditions like that are hard to beat.
Sunday morning, the 26th, stays glassy with the swell building to 4ft, though the period drops to 19 seconds. By Monday the 27th, the swell hits 5ft in the morning with a clean cross-off breeze, but the period is down to 18 seconds. The energy is getting very strong (1517). Tuesday the 28th morning is a solid call with offshore wind and 6ft, 18-second swell pumping energy (1840). That’s expert territory size-wise, but the wind is clean.
The run of good mornings continues through the end of July and into the start of August, but the swell slowly winds down. By Thursday, July 30th, the morning has clean conditions but the swell has dropped to 4ft and the period is down to 14 seconds. The energy is moderate (728). From there, the wave size and energy keep fading. By the first week of August, we’re into smaller, weaker surf, though there are still some glassy, clean mornings. The last week of the outlook sees the swell dropping below 2ft, with low energy (90-200). The surf is pretty ordinary then.
There is a gap of a few days after the first week of August with no real recommendations, just small, weak waves. It’s a bit of a fizzle at the end of the run. Still, that first couple of days is the real deal. Get on it.
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.
