The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for El Agujero is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, and honestly, the surf just isn’t cooperating. The swell is there, but the wind has it all messed up.
The overall pattern is a persistent, medium-sized northerly swell, but it’s being hammered by a constant cross-onshore wind from the NNE. This is a classic exposed reef break, but with that wind direction, it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess for the foreseeable future. The combined wave energy sits in the moderate range, mostly between 250 and 680 over the period, but it doesn't matter much when the wind is wrecking the surface.
The bad news starts now and runs right through. From Saturday the 25th of July, we’ve got swell around 8 feet coming from the NNE, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore at 22 mph. The guidance says "poor surf conditions" and that’s exactly what it is. This is just not a paddle-friendly setup. Honestly, with that wind and a solid 6+ foot swell, this is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than grabbing a shortboard.
The wind doesn't really let up. Through the end of July and into the first week of August, we see the swell drop a bit, hovering between 4 and 6 feet, but the wind stays cross-on or onshore from the NNE or NE. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it from the surface with all that chop.
The best we can say is that by late in the first week of August, the wind does ease to a gentle breeze on some mornings, like the 3rd of August, but the swell is still small and the direction is still cross-on. The entire 16-day window is a total write-off for quality surf. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. Just a long stretch of “poor surf conditions” with no scoring waves.
The forecast confidence is high for the first week, but the outlook is grim. It’s one of those blank runs that’s normal for this area when the trade winds are locked in. Don't hang your hopes on it; forecasts can change, but this one looks stubborn.
Rusty.
