The Lowdown

Gutted, honestly. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window and there’s just nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NNE, that are going to keep El Agujero (Grand Canaria) chopped up and messy.

The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need the thick suit.

The first week, from Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th, is a write-off. Swell is small, 3ft to 6ft, but the period is short—just 6 to 7 seconds. That’s weak, wind-slop stuff. The combined energy is mostly in the low to mid hundreds (170, 196, 153, 222), which is just weak and unorganized. The wind is a constant 12-16 mph cross-on, which is going to make it lumpy and hard work. Not worth getting wet for.

We get a slight tease of a better period from Monday the 17th, where the swell period stretches out to 9, then 10 seconds on the 18th and 19th. The energy bumps up to the 400s (424, 432), which is moderate. Still, the wind is mostly on, and the swell direction is still NNE, which is not the optimum for this spot. The surf is still rated as poor. It’s a bit more push, but it’s still going to be a battle against the wind.

There’s another slight bump around the 22nd and 23rd with 6ft to 6ft swell, but again, the period is short and the wind turns cross-on again. It’s just not coming together.

Honestly, the only thing that looks half-interesting is the morning of Tuesday the 18th. The swell is 5ft from the N with a 10-second period, and the wind is light at 6 mph. That’s the cleanest window we get, but it’s still just a one-off before the breeze picks up again. It’s not a standout, just the least ugly of a bad bunch.

This is a classic blank run for the area. The setup is exposed and it’s just not handling this wind direction. With the onshores and this short-period swell, if you’re desperate, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than the paddle crew. But for a surf, I’d give it a miss. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be looking at other plans.

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.

El Agujero is 2 km (1 miles) from Galdar. If you plan a holiday in Gran Canaria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Galdar. Galdar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
