Agua Verde Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down the same stretch but in good ol’ feet and miles per hour.

Agua Verde is a slow starter. The first few days are basically a write-off, with small, messy surf and no real windows of clean conditions. You’ll be waiting a bit.

Come Wednesday the 22nd, there’s a 4ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, but it’s not clean. The water’s a warm 89°F, about 4°F above normal – feels like a bath. The morning has a light 6 mph SW breeze, but the afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy. No good.

Thursday the 23rd is tiny – 2ft and 1ft – no go. Friday the 24th afternoon is your first real hope: 1ft from the WSW with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. The wind is light, so you might squeeze a fun little session on a log. The energy is weak (327).

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th stay poor. Cross-onshore winds and chop.

Now Monday the 27th morning is the standout. Swell builds to 4ft from the SW with a 17-second period. That’s a groundswell with proper power and shape. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-onshore, so it’s clean with just a few ripples. Energy hits 1004 – strong. For a point break like Agua Verde, that long period means longer waits but better waves. Crowds can show up, but it’s worth it.

Tuesday the 28th morning jumps to 5ft from the SW, period 17 seconds. That’s solid overhead, so it’s for experienced surfers only. Energy is a massive 1501 – the biggest pulse of the run. The cross-onshore wind picks up a bit, but it’s still manageable.

Wednesday the 29th morning has 6ft from the SW, but the light onshore wind makes it fat. The afternoon gets blown out by 16 mph winds.

Thursday the 30th morning still has 6ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and a light cross-onshore – clean enough. By Friday the 31st, it drops to 5ft and the period shortens. The morning is glassy, but the afternoon is a mess.

After that, it fades fast into the first week of August, with waves dropping below 3ft and mostly poor conditions.

Your best bet is Monday the 27th morning: 4ft from the SW, 17-second period, light cross-onshore wind, and strong energy. Tuesday the 28th morning is the next best, but only for you experienced crew – it’s a solid 5ft.

The second week is mostly average. A few morning windows with small, weak swell and light winds, but nothing to plan a trip around. The long-range stuff on the 5th and 6th of August shows 4ft to 5ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, but the afternoons get blown out.
