The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s cooking at Agua Verde over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. The first real window is a short one on the morning of Tuesday, 18 August. We’ve got a clean little 2ft SW swell rolling in with a period of 14 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. The water is at 90°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. The combined energy is moderate at 207, so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is by far the best session on offer, but it’s a one-hit wonder. After that, the wind turns onshore by the afternoon and the quality drops off a cliff.
From Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of the month, it’s a grim run. The swell sticks around, mostly 1ft to 2ft from the SW, with periods hanging between 13 and 17 seconds, but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore and choppy. The scores are low across the board, and the combined energy drops from moderate (200) down to weak (91) at times. The only glimmer is a few mornings with light offshore or calm winds, like on the 19th, 20th, 25th, and 29th of August, but even then, the surf is marginal or the tide is questionable. Nothing to get excited about.
As we roll into the first week of September, there’s a small uptick in energy. The morning of Tuesday, 1 September, shows a 2ft SW swell with 13-second period and light offshore wind, giving a moderate energy of 275. It’s still only a marginal call, so not a stand-out. The real spike comes on Wednesday, 2 September – a 3ft SW swell, 12-second period, and combined energy jumping to 509 (strong). The wind is light cross-shore in the morning, making it the only other session worth a mention. But again, it’s rated marginal, and by afternoon the wind is cross-onshore.
Overall, there’s a two-week stretch of mostly poor surf, with only a couple of mornings that might deliver a clean wave if you’re keen and local. The standout is without a doubt Tuesday, 18 August morning. The other possibility is Wednesday, 2 September morning, but that’s a full two weeks out so keep an eye on it – forecasts can shift.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
