The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for El Agujero over the next 16 days is a tough one. From the very start on Tuesday, July 14th, right through to the end of the month, the conditions are just not cooperating. There’s no standout period, no day to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a long, solid run of poor surf, which is a real bummer for this spot.

The first few days, starting Tuesday morning, we’ve got tiny swell at 2ft from the N, with a short period of 8 seconds and weak energy (68). The wind is blowing cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That pattern sticks around through Wednesday and Thursday, with the swell barely ticking up. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing we don’t have to worry about.

By Friday the 17th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NE, and the energy gets a bit more moderate (217), but that cross-onshore wind is still there, ruining any chance of a clean face. It stays like that through the weekend and into the next week. The swell gets a little bigger, hitting 6ft on Saturday the 18th and even 7ft by Thursday the 23rd of July, with energy climbing into the strong range (544). But the wind is either cross-on or onshore, and the period is short, so it’s just going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess.

Honestly, this whole 16-day window is a write-off for a paddle. The swell direction is mostly from the NNE or NE, which is what El Agujero likes, but with the wind state and the short period, it’s just not going to shape up. There’s a couple of days toward the end, like the 27th and 28th, where the period lengthens a bit to 9 or 10 seconds from the NNW, but the cross-onshore wind is still there, so it’s not enough to save it. If you’re into kitesurfing, the stronger, choppier days might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a hard pass.

We’ve got a nearly two-week stretch here with no real hope. Stick a pin in it and check back later, because forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.

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.
