The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Afogadas over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch looks grim for a proper surf. We’ve got some swell consistently showing up, but the wind is just wrecking it. The water temp is sitting at a warm 81°F with a anomaly of only 0.9°F, so that’s pretty normal for this time of year. But the conditions... mate, they’re a mess.
Starting Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got a 4ft swell coming from ESE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, only 110, but the real killer is that steady 19 mph SE cross-shore wind. It’s choppy, lumpy, and just not worth paddling out for. That pattern locks in for days. Wednesday the 9th through Saturday the 13th, the swell stays between 4ft and 5ft, but those winds from the ESE and SE are relentless at 12 to 16 mph. It’s all cross-on and choppy. The energy does build a little – we see it hit 248 on Thursday afternoon – but it’s all onshore junk. The period creeps up to 8 seconds by Friday, which is slightly better, but the wind still kills it. The guidance tells me this break is fairly consistent, exposed, and gets a decent cross-offshore wind from the WSW, but we ain’t seeing that in this window. It’s all onshore.
We roll through the second week, from Sunday the 14th all the way to Wednesday the 23rd, and I wish I had better news. Swell stays in that 4ft to 5ft range, period sits mostly at 7 seconds, and the energy bounces between 125 and 190. The wind? Same story. Cross-on, 12 to 19 mph, day in and day out. There’s a tiny flicker on Saturday the 19th morning where the wind turns straight onshore from the East at 12 mph, but that’s not clean either. By Wednesday the 23rd, the period drops back to 6 seconds, and the whole thing fizzles out.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this 16-day run. It’s a blank stretch. The break is fairly consistent, so when the wind plays ball, this place can fire, but right now it’s all cross-shore chop. If you’re into kiting or windsurfing, this setup might be more your speed. But for a clean wave on a paddle board? Not this time.
Rusty.

Information about the Afogadas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Afogadas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Afogadas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Afogadas 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 (Afogadas) 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 Afogadas 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.
