The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve taken a hard look at the forecast for Afogadas, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to speak of for the first eleven days.
Starting from Saturday the 25th of July right through to Wednesday the 5th of August, it’s just one no-go after another. The swell is tiny and weak, with energy values barely cracking triple digits most days – you’re looking at a paltry combined energy of just 47 to 296 (weak to moderate). The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no punch or shape to it. And the wind? It’s a constant cross-shore breeze, 9 to 19 mph, stirring up a messy chop. It’s poor conditions, plain and simple. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer, but it happens.
The first glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 489 (moderate). The wind goes light and cross-offshore, making it clean. The report calls it “marginal,” but for a brief window, it might be just about rideable. Still, that’s a long way off and not something to bank on.
Then we hit a real tease on Sunday the 9th of August. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the ESE, with a period stretching to 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 890 (moderate-to-strong), so there’s some power in the water. But the wind is still a messy cross-shore at 16 mph, and the surf is still rated as poor. That long period on a spot like this might make it break a bit too straight and tricky to line up for a good ride. This one is a promise that’s two weeks out, so keep your expectations in check.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 2nd of August is your best bet. The swell is 6 ft, ESE, and the wind is clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only thing that even looks like a surf. For the rest of the run, you’re better off finding something else to do. The conditions are just too sloppy and the swell too weak until that far-off Sunday.
Stay salty,
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.
