Agua Verde Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Agua Verde.

Honestly, the first few days are a bust. From Friday the 21st through Monday the 24th, we’ve got nothing but tiny waves and crummy cross-onshore wind. The energy is weak (between 91 and 234), and it’s all poor conditions. A proper flat spell.

It starts to look a little better on Tuesday morning the 25th. The swell picks up to about 3ft from the SW with a nice 12-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is a solid moderate 325, and the water is running much warmer than usual at 89°F. That Tuesday morning session at Agua Verde is your first real chance, but don’t plan your day around it because the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.

After that, we get a few more days of onshore junk and poor conditions, even though the swell energy builds into the moderate range (300 to 500). The wind just ruins it.

Keep an eye on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW swell with a long 16-second period. The energy is strong at 556, and it’s just a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. Still not the big one.

The real standout is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. The swell holds at 3ft from the SW with a 13-second period, and we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. That’s clean. The energy is a solid 309, and the conditions are expected to be good. This is your pick of the first week – Agua Verde should be fun and clean.

There’s another rough patch with storms and wind early in September, but then we hit a beauty on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. We’ve got a 2ft SW swell, but the period is 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell – and the energy is pumping at 589. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the SE, and the conditions are expected to be very good. For a point/river setup like Agua Verde, this long-period swell could be something special, with clean, well-shaped waves and nice long lulls between sets.

Later, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, the swell peaks at 4ft from the SW with a 15-second period and a massive energy reading of 670. The wind is light and onshore, which is a shame, so it’s a marginal call. If the wind stays away, it could be a heavy one, but it’s a risk.

So, bottom line: the first few days are a total write-off. Your best bets are the clean, cross-offshore mornings of Monday the 31st of August and Thursday the 3rd of September. That Thursday session is the one with the most potential for quality waves. Don’t forget that Tuesday morning the 25th for a quick glassy session, either.
