Alright, surfers, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for El Agujero over the next 16 days is about as flat as a weekday lineup. There's nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole period is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, keeping the surf small and choppy. The first week is especially poor, with tiny knee-high waves and messy conditions. Water temp on Tuesday morning July 7 is 72°F, about normal for this time of year (anomaly 0.9°F), so no excuses there.
Tuesday July 7 morning: clear skies, but wind from NNE at 12 mph, cross-on. Wave height around 3 ft, period only 8 seconds – weak, short-period wind swell. Combined energy is 136 – weak to moderate. Absolutely poor conditions. Afternoon similar, even smaller at 2 ft and period dropping to 5 seconds. The rest of the week continues like that: small, onshore, choppy. No change through the weekend of July 12-13. Winds remain moderate cross-onshore from NE, wave heights around 2–3 ft, energy creeping up but still poor.
Into the second week, swell starts building. By Tuesday July 14, wave height reaches 5 ft in the morning, energy 131, but still cross-on winds. Wednesday July 15 morning 5 ft, energy 185. Still poor. The weekend of July 19-20 sees a bigger pulse: Sunday July 19 morning 7 ft, energy 475 – that's moderate-strong energy, but again cross-on wind from NNE. The following Monday and Tuesday (July 20-21) have 7 ft, energy 643, even bigger. But the wind remains cross-on, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. Even the best day – Wednesday July 22 morning – sees 8 ft swell from NNE, period 8 seconds, energy 715, but wind is light cross-on from NNE at 6 mph. That's the only marginal call in the whole run, and even then the wind is still cross-on, so expect bumpy faces. This reef break needs clean offshore winds to shine, and we aren't getting any. The optimum swell direction for El Agujero is NNW, but we're seeing mostly NNE and N swells – off angle. With the poor quality, if you're desperate for a paddle, maybe a dawn mission on July 22 if the wind swings lighter, but honestly, I'd save the wax. The consistent nature of this spot means it usually has something, but not this fortnight. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it's a total washout.
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.
