The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and miles per hour.
To be honest, the outlook for Afogadas over the next two weeks is a bit of a bust. The swell is hanging in the 3 to 5 ft range, but the wind is the problem. It’s coming from the ESE and SE almost non-stop, hitting the break cross-on and keeping the surface messy. The water temp is normal for this time of year at 81°F.
Starting Sunday, August 30th, we’ve got a small 4 ft ESE swell, but a 15 mph cross wind is ruining it. The combined energy is only moderate at 131. Not worth your time.
Monday the 31st brings a bump to 6 ft from the E, with a period of 8 seconds and energy climbing to 393. Sounds okay, but the wind is still cross-on at 15 mph, and it’s all "poor surf conditions." This pattern sticks all week: the swell drops to 3 to 5 ft, the period stays short (6 to 9 seconds), and the wind just won’t let up.
Even the morning of Thursday, September 3rd, with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, only gives us a 3 ft E swell and the wave state is "unknown." No good.
The second week is worse. By September 6th, the swell drops below 3 ft, energy falls to 89, and the wind is still cross-on. By the 8th and 9th, the wind hits 18 mph, making it lumpy. This honestly looks more like a kiteboarding setup than a surf spot—there’s wind and chop, but no clean waves.
There’s a flicker on Monday, September 14th with a 4 ft E swell and energy of 212, but it’s still cross-on and "poor."
The best on offer? There isn’t one. Nothing stands out across the whole 16 days. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rough stretch. Forecasts can shift, but right now, I’d say keep the fins in the closet.

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.
