The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at El Agujero.

Honestly, mate, if you’re looking for a good session, you’re gonna have to wait. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off. The surf is there, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The north-northeast wind is a constant headache, ruining what could be otherwise reasonable swell.

First up, Monday the 27th of July. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the north-northeast, but it’s short-period stuff at 8 seconds, and the wind is a moderate onshore breeze. The water temp is a pretty normal 74°F for this time of year. The whole week is a repeat of this: the swell sticks around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate (136 to 263), and it’s just not worth paddling out.

We get a little breather on Saturday the 1st of August. The wind drops right off, going light and onshore from the north-northwest, with swell still around 4ft to 5ft. It’s the cleanest it will be all week, but the swell is weak and short period. The combined energy is still weak (240). It’s a tease, but I’d still struggle to call it a goer.

Then the middle of the week gets a bit of a pulse. On Wednesday the 5th of August, the swell jumps to 6ft, and by Thursday the 6th it’s 7ft, all from the north-northeast with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 380-538, which is moderate wave energy. But again, the wind is a dirty cross-onshore, making it lumpy. That 7ft is getting into the “too big for beginners” territory, and with the wind on it, it’s gonna be a messy, blown-out wall.

The last few days, from the 9th of August onward, the wind actually picks up into a fresh breeze, hitting 18-22 mph. The swell stays around 5ft to 7ft, but the combined energy climbs to 485-915. The swell on Tuesday the 11th of August is 8ft from the north-northeast with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 969, which is strong. But the wind is still onshore and the conditions are lumpy. At this size and with the wind, this is for experts only, and even then, it’s gonna be a battle. The wind is so strong here, a setup like this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The bottom line is, there’s no standout session here. The wind is against us for the entire 16 days. The closest thing to a clean window was that Saturday, but the swell was too small. For the rest, it’s a case of what could have been. Sometimes, you just have to sit this one out. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a big fat zero.

Rusty.

Information about the El Agujero Surf forecast

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