The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a hard look at what we’ve got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at this 16-day run for Afogadas, I’m feeling a bit gutted for you. We are staring down a proper blank spell. There isn’t a single session that I’d give the green light for a paddle. Every morning and afternoon from Saturday, September 12th right through to Sunday, September 27th is hammered by a persistent cross-onshore wind, mainly from the ESE at 12 to 19 mph. That breeze is just ruining any chance of a clean face.
The swell is hanging around the 3 ft to 5 ft mark, coming mostly from the east with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy sits in the weak to moderate range (between 97 and 200), but it doesn’t matter when the wind is this messy. The wave comment sums it up every single time: “poor surf conditions.” It’s mostly choppy, with a few days slipping into lumpy territory.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem that cleans up. The wind stays onshore, the swell is gutless and short-period, and between the 12th and the 27th, there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. If the swell picks up and the wind ever clocks around offshore, you might get a session, but under this guidance, it’s a full-on washout. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s a rough run, but these stretches do happen. We just have to wait for the pattern to shift.
Stay dry for now, boys. We’ll get em next time.

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.
