The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Agua Verde (SW exposed point/river).
Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a story of small windows of clean surf mixed with a lot of choppy afternoons. The water’s warm – about 90°F, which is a good 4°F above normal, so it’s unseasonably warm.
Monday the 24th of August morning is tiny – 2ft from the SW with a 12-second period. That’s a weakish groundswell. The energy is moderate at 214, but the wave size is small. Light onshore breeze, so it’s not glassy, but it’s ridable.
From Monday afternoon through Friday the 28th, the afternoons are all poor with moderate cross-onshore wind and chop. Not worth it.
First real highlight: Saturday the 29th of August morning. Swell comes up to 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period – long-period groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 503 (strong). The wind is a light onshore breeze. For a point break, that long period is money – it’ll wrap in with some shape. It’s still only rated “marginal” but it’s the cleanest of the first week.
Thursday the 3rd of September morning shows 3ft SW swell with a 19-second period – very long-period groundswell. Energy is strong at 574. The wind is almost nothing, a slight air from the SW. That’s a recipe for a clean, lined-up point session.
But the standout is Friday the 4th of September morning. Swell hits 4ft from the SW, 17-second period, with the highest energy of the outlook at 754 (strong). Wind is barely a whisper from the SSW (slight cross-onshore). That’s your best bet. The size is solid, the period is excellent, and the point will handle it beautifully.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning is also worth a look: 3ft from the WSW, 19-second period, strong energy at 764, with light cross-onshore breeze.
So the game plan is simple: mornings only. The afternoons get wrecked. The best on offer is Friday 4th September morning, with Saturday 29th August and Thursday 3rd September as solid runners-up. Agua Verde breaks fairly consistently, so don’t sweat the gaps. Just watch the wind.
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.
