The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about El Agujero. The next week and a half is going to be frustrating. The wind is just going to ruin most of it, blowing cross-on and onshore, making everything choppy and messy. We're seeing surf in the 3 to 5 ft range, but it's not going to be clean. Water's at 75°, which is a bit warmer than normal, so at least you won't be cold while you're getting blown around.
From Friday the 14th all the way through to Sunday the 24th, there’s nothing that'll get you excited. Wave energy is weak to moderate, with the combined energy numbers sitting between 128 and 331. There’s a little bump around the 21st, but the wind's still a problem. It's all just a lot of onshore slop.
But, if you can wait, there's something brewing. Around Tuesday the 25th and into Wednesday the 26th, the swell picks up to 5-6 ft from the north-northeast, with a period of 8-9 seconds. The energy readings jump to 437 and then up to 493 by Wednesday afternoon. That's some serious push for this spot. The direction is ideal, but the wind is still cross-on at 15-16 mph. It'll be a fight, but there's power there. Then Saturday the 29th is the big one, with combined swell energy hitting 595 and 527 for the morning and afternoon, and waves at 5-6 ft. Again, the wind will be there, but with that much water moving, the reef might just handle it.
So, the best windows are Tuesday the 26th and Saturday the 29th. The swell's there, but the wind isn't doing us any favors. For stronger surfers, those days have some punchy, makeable waves if you can find a spot out of the worst of it. The period is short, 8-9 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy. For the less experienced, 5-6 ft with cross-onshore wind is a recipe for a beating. If that wind ever dies down, we'd be onto something. As it stands, it's about picking your moments.

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.

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.
