The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Agua Verde.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a grind. We’ve got small swell and a lot of choppy, cross-onshore wind messing things up. The first real surf I’d even consider getting out of bed for is on Saturday the 18th, and even then it’s marginal. From there, we limp through patchy days with small, short-period swell and poor conditions until we hit the end of the month.
The standout window is Sunday the 27th of July. The morning session at Agua Verde is looking like the pick of the whole forecast. We’ll see a clean 4ft swell from the SW, with a long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a solid 1102 (moderate to strong). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which is workable. The set waves will be well-shaped and powerful, but the long period means it’ll be a bit more lined up for the point setup here. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so there should be waves to be had, but it can get busy sometimes.
The water is running about 89°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—so you’ll be in boardies all day.
If you’re a beginner, that 4ft swell is right on the edge of too big, but it’s manageable. Anything over 5ft in the later sessions will be pushing it for the less experienced.
The following week has some marginal energy, but the wind keeps turning cross-onshore in the afternoons, messing it up. The morning of Thursday the 31st of July might offer a clean 5ft from the SW, but it’s a gamble on the wind holding.
So, bottom line: the best bet is the morning of the 27th. It’s not a perfect forecast, but it’s the closest we get to a proper session.
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.
