The Lowdown
Right then, let’s see what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a bit of a flat spell for Cuyagua to start with, but there’s a glimmer of hope later on.
The first real chance of anything decent isn’t until Thursday the 23rd of July. We’ve got a bit of a wait. The early part of the week is a write-off with poor surf conditions, so don’t bother paddling out until then.
Okay, Thursday morning the 23rd is where it gets interesting. The wind is dead glassy from the WNW, which is a massive plus for a reef break like Cuyagua. The swell is showing 5 ft from the ENE, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be packing much punch. The combined energy is moderate (211). Still, with that glassy morning, it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see, and it’s the standout of the whole forecast. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The Thursday afternoon turns a bit iffy with a cross shore wind, so make the most of the morning. Friday the 24th sees a bit more size, around 5 ft, but the wind is onshore in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The energy is still moderate (229). The best of the rest is really the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, with a 5 ft ENE swell and a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s the next best thing.
After that, things get a bit messy again. The 3rd of August shows a bigger 6 ft ENE swell with a 7 second period, but the wind is onshore, so expect choppy conditions. The energy is moderate (254), but the quality won’t be there.
Honestly, the only real standout is that glassy Thursday morning on the 23rd. It’s not a huge swell, but it’s clean, and that’s what counts. The rest of the window is a mix of average conditions and poor surf. Keep your eyes on that morning, because it’s the best you’re going to get.

Information about the Cuyagua Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cuyagua provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cuyagua can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cuyagua 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 (Cuyagua) 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 Cuyagua 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.
