The Lowdown
Alright, let me put it plainly. Looking at the data for Afogadas over the next 16 days, it's a total bust. Every single session scores a zero. We're in for a rough stretch.
Starting Monday, September 14th, we've got a weak 3 ft swell from the ESE, but a steady cross-shore wind is just tearing it up. The wind is moderate to fresh, blowing 15 to 19 mph, and it's either cross or cross-on, creating nothing but lumpy, choppy surf. The combined swell energy is only moderate, so there's no real power behind it.
This doesn't change. From the 14th right through to the 29th of September, it's the same story. The swell picks up a little around the 19th and 20th, hitting about 5 ft, with a bit more energy, but the wind stays locked in from the ESE and SE, keeping everything onshore and messy. Even when the swell period stretches to 11 seconds on the 23rd, that kind of long-period groundswell at a beach break can be tricky, and the cross-onshore wind will ruin it anyway.
The water temp is around 81°F, which is pretty average. But with this persistent wind, the whole setup looks way better for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. There's no good window, no clean wind, and no consistency to speak of. It's just a long stretch of poor conditions.
Leave the board on the rack. Forecasts can always change, but for now, there's nothing to chase.

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.
