Agua Verde Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie and let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Agua Verde. It’s looking like a patchy run over the next couple of weeks, so don't go getting too excited just yet. We’ve got some swell in the water, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story for a while.

The water here is sitting at a toasty 89.4°, which is a good four and a half degrees warmer than the norm for this time of year. That’s proper tropical bathwater.

Right off the bat, the first week or so is a real mixed bag. The surf is tiny, mostly around the 1.6ft to 2ft mark, and the wind is a problem. It’s mostly cross-onshore, which is gonna chop things up and make it hard to find any real shape. We see that light cross-onshore breeze on Saturday morning, and while there’s a bit more energy in the water for the first weekend, the swell direction is okay but the wind just kills it. It’s going to be a battle for anything clean.

There is a small window on Monday morning, the 12th, with a light onshore wind and a 2.3ft swell, but it’s marginal at best. You’ll see the energy jump a bit on the 14th and 15th, with combined energy readings in the 440 to 490 range, which is moderate. The swell also bumps up to 3ft on the 15th, but the wind is just cross-onshore again. It’s teasing us.

The standout, and honestly the only real highlight in the whole window, is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. We’re looking at a clean 2ft of WSW swell, but it’s that period that has my attention – 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and with that light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, the face is going to be glassy. The energy is moderate at 336, but for a spot like this, and for anyone else, this is the pick of the first week. The swell direction is from the WSW, which matches its optimum. Get on it early.

After that, the following week is pretty grim. We jump to August 16th, another Sunday morning, and there's a decent 2.6ft SW swell with a cross-offshore breeze again. It’s clean, but the period has dropped back to 15 seconds. It’s rideable, but the energy has faded back down to 260. There’s another brief look on the 20th with a 2.3ft SW swell, but the winds are onshore again and it’s just messy.

Honestly, if you can only pick one session in the next 16 days, make it Tuesday the 11th. The rest is either too small, too chopped up, or just a frustrating mix of both. Don’t write the whole window off, but temper your expectations.
