The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down. For the first week, it's a total write-off. The swell is small and weak, with a combined energy barely gettin' into double digits (67-106). That's barely a ripple. The wind is a nightmare, choppin' everything up. You're lookin' at a lot of "poor surf conditions" and "marginal" calls.
The first real standout is Saturday morning, September 5th at Cuyagua. It's glassy. Dead flat calm. The swell is a tiny 0.9m from the ENE with a 6-second period, which is just a short-period slop. But when it's glassy, it's clean. The combined energy is a weak 62, so it's not gonna be any kind of power, but for a beginner or someone just wantin' to get wet, that's the window. The swell is small enough for anyone.
Sunday morning, September 6th, is also a shout. Glassy again, with a little more push at 1.1m from the NE, 6-second period. The energy is up to 85. Still weak, but clean. The wind is dead calm. It's a similar story – small, clean, and ordinary.
Now, we jump ahead to the second week. The swell picks up a bit, but the wind stays a problem. We get some bigger pulses, like 1.9m to 2.1m from the ENE on Monday the 8th and Tuesday the 9th, but it's all cross-shore and cross-onshore wind, making it a total mess. The combined energy hits 401 and 420 on those afternoons, so there's power there, but it's just not gonna be rideable. It's more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one.
The only real hope in that second week is Thursday morning, September 17th, and Friday morning, September 18th. Both are glassy again. Thursday sees 1.3m from the ENE with a 7-second period (energy 148), and Friday is the same with 1.3m from the ENE, 7-second period (energy 150). These are the cleanest, most surfable windows in the whole 16-day run. The swell is small, but the glassy conditions make it the best on offer. The swell direction is a direct match for the optimum, so it'll be wrapping in okay.
So, my honest take: If you're desperate for a paddle, the Saturday and Sunday mornings of the 5th and 6th and then the Thursday and Friday mornings of the 17th and 18th are your only chances. Between those, it's a long, frustrating wait. The 17th and 18th are the pick of the bunch, but they're a long way off, so don't get your hopes up too high. Cuyagua is fairly consistent, but this stretch is a reminder that even the best spots can go quiet. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.

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.
