Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what we’ve got for El Agujero over the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. The overall pattern shows a constant run of poor surf conditions for the first two weeks, with tricky onshore and cross-onshore winds messin’ up pretty much everything that rolls in. There’s a gap of about two and a half weeks here where there’s just no good surf to recommend, so you’ll wanna be patient.

Starting Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th, we got tiny little waves—2 to 4 feet, short period around 5 seconds, all from the N or NNW, but the wind is blowin’ onshore or cross-on, with wind speeds of 9 to 16 mph. Combined energy is weak, only in the 28 to 67 range. Water temp is sittin’ at 72°, pretty much normal for this time of year, nothin’ unusual there. But the quality is just poor—choppy, messy, not worth paddlin’ out.

Sunday the 12th through the 14th sees a bit more size, with swell hitting 3 to 4 feet, and the period stretches to 8 or 10 seconds on Sunday afternoon, which gives a bit more life to the waves. Combined energy bumps up to 144 and even 210 on Sunday arvo, but the wind stays cross-on or onshore from the NE or NNE, 9 to 16 mph. It’s still lumpy and poor. Not your day.

From Monday the 15th all the way through Thursday the 24th, the swell hangs around 5 to 8 feet, with periods mostly 6 to 9 seconds, so it’s a mix of weak and moderate energy (60 to 741 in combined energy). But here’s the kicker—wind is relentless, cross-on or onshore at 9 to 19 mph, and on the 16th and 17th we get fresh cross-onshore breezes at 19 mph. The surf is lumpy, choppy, and just plain poor. For a beach and reef setup like El Agujero, this is more of a kite surfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s dream.

Now, the one stand-out window comes on Saturday the 25th, and it’s the only decent day in the whole run. In the morning, we get glassy conditions—wind from the NNW at just 3 mph, which is a huge positive. The swell is 7 feet from the NNE with an 8-second period, and combined energy is 459 (moderate). That glassy wind will make it clean, and the size is solid for intermediates, but at 7 feet, beginners might find it a bit too much. This is your best bet by a long shot—just know it’s over a week away, and forecasts can change. There’s also a “marginal” shout on Friday the 24th afternoon—8 feet swell from NNE, light breeze at 6 mph—but it’s flagged as questionable due to tide, so don’t count on it.

So yeah, make a note for Saturday the 25th morning, and cross your fingers for that glassy session. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
