The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles.
We’re looking at El Agujero for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s a rough stretch. The main pattern is steady onshore wind from the NNE, and that’s the problem. The swell is trying to show up, but the wind is ruining it. From Monday 27 July through the first week, every entry is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, moderate breeze, and the combined swell energy is low to moderate (between 114 and 305). The swell is short-period (6 to 8 seconds), so it’s weak and choppy. Nothing worth paddling out for.
We get a slight break on Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August, when the wind drops to a light breeze and the swell shifts a bit more northerly. The combined energy is still low (between 106 and 260), and the period is short (7 seconds), but it’s the best you’re going to get. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
From Monday 3 August, the wind picks up again and it’s back to the same messy story. The swell starts building toward the end of the second week, but it’s paired with stronger cross-onshore winds. By Sunday 9 August, the swell is around 7 to 8 feet from the NNE, short period 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 645 to 809. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s lumpy and wind-affected. This is getting too big for beginners, and for intermediates, the quality is poor. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, but with those winds, it’s more of a kite-surfing spot than a paddle zone.
The very end of the forecast, Monday 10 August into Tuesday 11 August, the swell is still up around 7 to 8 feet, and the wind finally goes onshore from the NNE instead of cross-onshore. The combined energy is still strong (510 to 817), but the period is short (7 to 8 seconds) and the conditions are still poor. Not a standout.
Truth is, there’s no true standout in this 16-day window. The best window is the light-wind days on 1 and 2 August, but even that’s a marginal call. If you’re keen, you could get some weak, short-period waves on a small board, but don’t expect any quality. For the rest of the time, the wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. The forecast confidence is high for the near term, and it’s not looking good.
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.
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.
