The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the local stretch here.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. For the first week and a half, we're looking at a real dry spell. The wind is mostly coming from the northeast, which is cross-on for El Agujero and it's making a mess of things. The swell is there, but it's short-period windswell, around 7 seconds, and it's just not getting any love from the wind. The conditions are described as "poor surf" all the way through.
We do have a bit of a pulse of energy coming through on the 11th and 12th of August, with the swell building to about 7 ft to 7 ft from the NNE. The combined energy jumps up to 398 and 495 (moderate wave energy), which is a decent amount of power, but the wind is still a stubborn cross-on from the NNE at 12-16 mph. It's going to be choppy and messy. It's not worth getting excited about, and at that size, it's going to be a bit much for beginners and just a messy, walled-up affair for everyone else.
The only real window that might be interesting is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. The wind swings around to a light WNW at 9 mph, giving us a cross-shore breeze. The swell is small at 4 ft, but the energy is low (213). It's a marginal call, but it's the cleanest the zone will be. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your best bet, but don't expect any gems.
After that, the swell drops off towards the end of the second week, with the energy falling below 100 (weak wave energy) by the 8th of August. The wind never really lets up, staying onshore or cross-on. It's a pretty bleak run, to be honest. There's no standout session here. The good news is this area tends to bounce back, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty, out.

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.
