The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I gotta be blunt – this 16-day surf forecast is a right-off. We're talking about El Agujero, a reef that's consistent and exposed, but the wind is a relentless enemy. Every single session in the whole window is marked as poor surf conditions. There's no secret pocket, no day to get excited about.
Starting Thursday, August 6th, we've got 6ft swell from the NE, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess. The wave energy is moderate (390), but the period is short at 7 seconds, so the waves are weak and disorganized. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. This pattern of onshore or cross-onshore winds from the north-northeast just keeps going. The swell stays around 5ft to 6ft through the weekend, but the wind is always on it, trashing the surface.
The second week is no better. From Monday the 10th onward, the swell is still in the 4ft to 7ft range, but the NNE wind is a constant, gusting up to 19 mph and making it lumpy. The wave energy spikes to 497 on the 15th (Saturday), so there's plenty of power, but with a fresh cross-onshore breeze, it's messy and blown out. Honestly, this whole setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Don't wait for a change, 'cause it's not coming. This is a blank run, and for this stretch of coast, that's not a surprise. Forecasts can flip, but right now, don't bother. Leave the boards in the shed.

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.
