The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for El Agujero over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle. The swell is coming from the NNE, which is about as far from the optimum NNW direction as you can get for this reef break. The wind is mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze, which just messes up the face all day. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real swell energy shows up on Thursday the 30th of July, with combined energy climbing to 241 (moderate), and it peaks around Wednesday the 5th of August with a solid 6 ft to 6 ft swell and energy hitting 448 (moderate). But it's all for nothing, mate. The southerly wind that's actually offshore? Only a quick flicker on Saturday the 1st of August morning, but the swell is barely 4 ft and the period is a short 7 seconds. The rest of the time, it's just onshore or cross-onshore, choppy, and messy.
The biggest standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. There's a gentle WNW breeze (15 km/h) giving a slight cross-shore, and the swell is a tiny 4 ft. The energy is moderate at 204, but it's still poor. Later in the window, the swell really gets up. By Monday the 10th of August, we're looking at 7 ft swell, and by Wednesday the 12th of August, it's a solid 8 ft with combined energy of 823 (strong). That's expert-level size, but the 7-8 second period is short, and the wind is still cross-on. It's more of a messy, challenging paddle than a classic session.
Honestly, the whole 16 days is a blank run. There's not a single hour posted with a score above zero. The wind is wrong, the swell direction is wrong, and the setup is a reef that's getting clobbered from the wrong angle. This place is consistent, but right now it's consistently poor. If you’re a kite surfer, the strong onshore wind and decent swell on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August might look fun, but for a surfboard? It's a pass.
Rusty.

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.
