Table - best surf conditions forecast for Afogadas over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: it's a tough run ahead for Afogadas. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper surf. There isn't a single session I'd tell you to paddle out for.
Right from Thursday the 9th of July, it's messy. The swell is weak and short-period, mostly around 3ft from the E, with a period of just 6 seconds – that's pure windslop. And the wind? It's stuck on that cross to cross-onshore flow, 9 to 16 mph, keeping everything choppy and bumpy. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." There's no quality, no power.
This pattern doesn't let up. As we move through the second week into mid-July, the swell tries to build a little – by Monday the 20th we're seeing 5ft at 8 seconds, and by the 21st it's still coming from ESE, with the same onshore wind keeping it rough. By the 24th of July, the period stretches to 9 seconds, and the swell height is up to 5-6ft, but the wind is fresh and cross-shore (16 to 19 mph), creating lumpy, cross-chop. It never cleans up.
Look, when a break like Afogadas is listed as "fairly consistent" with an "exposed" setup, you'd expect something, but the wind is just wrong the whole time – mostly moderate cross-onshore. There's simply no standout day. For the whole 16 days, we've got a gap of zero surfable conditions. It's a blank run.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
