The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks and I gotta tell you, it’s a tough run of form for El Agujero. The pattern is locked into a persistent northeasterly flow that’s just wrecking what could be some decent swell. Clean waves? Forget about it. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf.
Right off the bat, Monday the 3rd of August, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNE with a short period of 7 seconds. That's weak, dirty energy and a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. It’s choppy, it’s messy, and there’s nothing to ride. That sets the tone.
We plod through Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th with the same story: NNE swell pushing 5ft to 6ft, but that period stays short at 6 to 7 seconds, so the waves have no punch. The wind stays cross-onshore, either 12 or 16 mph. The energy builds a bit, but it’s all noise and no clean face.
Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 9th of August sees the wind shift to just "on" for the mornings, which is a slight improvement, but it’s still a moderate breeze at 16 mph. The swell picks up a touch, hitting 7ft on Saturday morning, but the period is still a paltry 8 seconds. That’s just a lumpy, wind-affected mess. It’s a definite paddle-out for experts only if they’re feeling strong, but the wave quality is going to be horrible.
From Monday the 10th of August right through to Tuesday the 18th of August, it’s the same damn tune. We see heights between 5ft and 7ft, but it’s all short-period NNE windswell. The wind is a constant cross-on or onshore breeze, 12 to 16 mph, with a few gusts up to 19 mph on Friday the 14th. Even when the energy spikes, it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. The water temperature sits around 73°F, so it’s about average for this time of year, but you won’t be in the water long enough to care.
Look, if you’re a surfer, don’t even bother. The onshore wind is relentless and the swell is too short and weak to offer any shape. The whole forecast is a blank. For kites, though? NNE wind at 12-16 mph on a reef break with that much chop and swell board? That’s got some potential. But for a paddle surfer, there is genuinely not a single recommendable session in this 16-day window. Sometimes you just get a flat run like this, and the only thing to do is wait for the pattern to change.
