The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what we’ve got for El Agujero – and it ain’t pretty.
This 16-day run is a real struggle. The break is consistent and exposed, water temp is normal for the season, but the wind is the story. From Friday the 14th all the way through to Sunday the 23rd of August, the swell comes from the NNE, but it’s fighting a moderate onshore to cross-onshore breeze. Wave heights are from 3 ft up to 6 ft, but with a short period of 7-8 seconds, it’s all bumpy and weak. The combined swell energy is between 100 and 359 (weak to moderate). It says "poor surf conditions" the whole way through. For an intermediate surfer, the size is there, but the texture is trash.
One small break in the clouds on Tuesday, August 18th. The wind drops to a light breeze, and the period stretches to 9 seconds. That morning gives us 4 ft from the N with a light offshore touch. The combined energy is 237 (moderate). It’s still marginal, and the tide might mess with it, but it’s the only time in the first ten days you'd even think about paddling out.
Then things get more interesting at the very end. Starting Tuesday, August 25th, the swell jumps. By Wednesday morning the 26th, we’ve got 8 ft from the NNE with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 868 (strong wave energy). That’s a lot of water moving. But once again, the wind is cross-onshore from the NE at 12 mph. On a reef, that is going to make it lumpy. At over 8 ft, this is expert-only territory. The power is there, but the quality is shot.
This big pulse sticks around through the 27th and 28th, with surf between 6 ft and 7 ft, still cross-onshore, with strong combined energy around 500-600. The period drops back to 8 seconds, so it’s a messy, powerful windswell.
Best on offer? Honestly, there’s no classic day here. The morning of the 18th is your only real chance for anything clean, but it’s marginal. The big swell at the end of August has the size and grunt, but the cross-onshore wind will ruin any chance of a good wave. This is much more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. It’s a bleak stretch for El Agujero – but that happens. The forecast can always flip, but right now, I’d be checking the wind reports before you wax up.

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.
