Agua Verde Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for Agua Verde over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, but there's a proper pulse of energy coming our way if you can be patient.

We're in for a long quiet spell to kick things off. From now, right through the end of this week and into the weekend, it's pretty flat and messy. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a tiny bit of weak, short-period SW swell barely making it to the beach. The combined wave energy is low, sitting around the 170 to 240 mark. Honestly, it’s just not worth paddling out for a proper session.

We do get a little respite on Saturday morning, July 18th. A bit of a cross-off wind from the SE cleans things up, and the combined swell energy picks up to 317, but the surf height is still only 2 ft. It's definitely marginal, but you might find a playful little left on a point/river mouth if you’re desperate for a splash.

Following that, Sunday, July 19th, sees a jump in energy, hitting 550, but with moderate rain and onshore winds, it's still not clean enough for a good time. The real change doesn't arrive until Monday, July 20th.

That’s when we get our first proper standout. Monday morning, July 20th, the wind goes light offshore from the NE and the swell starts to show some life. We’ve got 3 ft of long-period, 16-second groundswell from the SW, giving the point a nice clean look. The combined energy is a moderate 521, and let me tell you, that will feel much better under your feet. Conditions are clean, and this is a good time for intermediate surfers to get out for some long, gliding lines. Keep in mind, the break can get crowded and it's a point setup that loves this SW swell direction.

The real highlight though, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday, July 21st. The morning is absolutely perfect – glassy, zero wind, with a solid 4 ft of SW groundswell moving through a period of 15 seconds. The combined wave energy is a strong 714, and it’s coming from the optimum direction for this spot. This is clean, powerful, and about as good as it gets. It’s still in the intermediate-friendly range, but on a day like this, with that long-period groundswell, the sets will be lined up and powerful. Just be aware that the long period might make it a bit walled-off at the beach, but on this point, it will be pure magic.

Wednesday, July 22nd, keeps the momentum going with a clean morning and a slightly bigger 5 ft SW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is still high at 920. The wind is a light cross-off from the east, so the waves will have some shape and power and be fairly consistent.

As we move into the second week, things get a little messier with more cross-onshore winds, but we see the energy staying moderate and then building again. Toward the end of the outlook, on Tuesday, July 28th, we’ve got a big pulse of energy. The morning shows a 6 ft SW swell with a combined energy of 1249, which is strong to very strong. However, it's coming with a cross-on wind and those waves might be a bit unruly, getting big fast. This one is definitely for the experts only, and it's a long way off, so the certainty is lower, but it's something to keep an eye on.

So, in summary: don't bother for the next week. The best bets are Tuesday, July 21st, for the glassy, longer-period groundswell, and Monday morning, July 20th, for the clean offshore start. The good news is that with a fairly consistent point break, it won't stay flat forever. Forecasts can change, so keep checking back.

Rusty out.
