Table - best surf conditions forecast for Agua Verde over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Agua Verde, and I’ll be honest, the first week is a tough one. The surf is small, the wind is messy, and you’re better off doing something else.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, July 20th. That’s a solid week away, so you’ve got a long gap of flat, choppy junk to wait through. The water at Agua Verde is sitting at a very warm 90°, which is a solid 5° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. It’s a proper bathtub out there.
The standout of the whole forecast is the Monday, July 20th session. The morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the SW with a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (505), and the long 16-second period means real groundswell. This will be peaky and clean, with that offshore wind keeping the faces nice. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions," and I’m buzzing for it. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft, still from the SW, but with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N. The energy climbs to 756, and it’s still clean. That’s a solid afternoon session for intermediates.
The next little pulse comes on Tuesday, July 21st. The morning has 5ft from the SW with a 12-second period and light onshore wind. The energy is high (697), but the conditions are more marginal. It’s not the clean window of the previous day, but there’ll be some size out there.
The Thursday, July 24th morning looks like the biggest swell of the run, with 8ft coming from the SW and a 12-second period. The energy is a punchy 1628. However, the wind is light onshore, and the comment says "marginal." That’s a lot of water moving, and it’s going to be a bit lumpy. This is only for the experienced crew—the beginners will want to sit this one out.
The rest of the second week falls back into small, mixed-up conditions. The long-period swells (17-20 seconds) are on the books, but they’re tiny (2ft to 3ft) and the wind is never truly clean for them. A point/river setup like Agua Verde can handle those long-period lines, but without size, it’s not going to be a highlight.
Crowds at Agua Verde are "sometimes" around, but with this much downtime, it’ll be quiet. The best advice is to pencil in that Monday, July 20th and the Tuesday, July 21st morning. The rest is a gamble.
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.
