The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at El Agujero over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. There isn’t a single day where the conditions come together for a decent surf. We’re looking at a complete blank run here, which is a real bummer, especially for a spot that’s usually consistent.
The swell is there, no doubt about it. We’ve got a consistent run of north-northeast swell, with heights mostly between 5 ft and 7 ft, and the combined energy peaks at a solid 557 (moderate wave energy) on Saturday, August 8th. But the problem is the wind. It’s almost always cross-on from the northeast or north-northeast, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s just going to chop the place up and make it a messy, onshore mess. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, wind-driven swell, not a proper groundswell.
The water temperature is sitting right around 74°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Every single report through to August 19th says “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no window of opportunity. It’s just a solid wall of poor quality. With the strong, choppy wind and a beach-reef setup, honestly, this looks more like a kite surfing window than a paddle surfing one.
Sometimes the forecast changes, and we get a lucky break, but right now, it’s a hard no. Don’t bother getting your hopes up for this one.
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.
