Alright, Rusty again, same deal.
We’re looking at a 16-day stretch for El Agujero that’s mostly a bust. The first week is all tiny, weak windswell with onshore and cross-onshore winds, so paddle out if you want to practice your float. A bit of longer-period NNW swell shows up on Sunday the 12th, but it’s still choppy and blown out. The action picks up around Thursday the 16th, but it’s short-period, wind-driven junk from the NNE, getting hammered by fresh breezes. The swell direction is off the optimum, so it’s not wrapping in well. Water temp is about 72°, pretty normal for the time of year.
The best chance is the morning of Sunday the 19th. We’ve got an 8.2 ft swell from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is onshore. That’s big but short-period and messy – experts only, and even then, it’s poor. The energy is strong (891), but it’s lumpy. The morning of Thursday the 23rd is the cleanest option: 4.9 ft from the N with a 9-second period, and a gentle cross-onshore breeze. The energy is moderate (388), but it’s still not good. This is a flat run for the area, plain and simple.

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.
