The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Agua Verde is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds that are going to mess up what little swell we’ve got. There’s a gap of almost no serious surfable conditions for the first week and a half, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Saturday, August 15th, in the morning. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SW, with a solid 16-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the water is a very warm 89°F – that’s a whopping 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be in bathwater. The good news is the wind is a light 3 mph onshore from the SW, which is almost glassy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 502. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. This break is a point/river setup, so that long-period swell should wrap in nicely.
If you can’t make that, the next window is Sunday, August 16th, morning. Similar deal: 3ft SW swell, 15-second period, and the wind is a glassy 3 mph from the WSW. Wave energy is moderate at 318. It’s a marginal call, but it's the best of the rest.
The water temp stays warm, but the winds are a constant problem. Most afternoons are blown out with a moderate cross-onshore breeze making a mess of things. The swell stays small, mostly between 1ft and 2ft, and the energy is weak to moderate throughout.
Looking way out to Thursday, August 27th, there’s a bit of a pulse showing. The morning has a 3ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and light cross-onshore wind. The wave energy bumps up to 429. It’s a promising sign, but that’s a long way off and the forecast is less certain. The afternoon looks like it gets blown out again.
Honestly, if you’re after a proper surf, the first two weeks are a write-off. The combo of small swell and persistent wind is a cruel joke. The spot is fairly consistent, but it just can’t catch a break with the wind direction. Might be more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers on most days.
Stay patient, keep an eye on that last week of August, and hope the wind gods change their tune.
Rusty.

Information about the Agua Verde Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Agua Verde provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Agua Verde can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Agua Verde 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 (Agua Verde) 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 Agua Verde 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.
