Alright, Rusty here again. I’ve been over the numbers for El Agujero, and it’s a tough one to call. The water is reading 23°, which is about average for the season, so no complaints there. But the surf story is a long one, and not a good one.
The first week kicks off Sunday, 12 July, with a 1.0m swell from the NNW, but the wind is onshore and the combined energy is only 154. That’s weak. It’s all poor surf. Monday and Tuesday stay tiny, with cross-onshore winds and energy dropping to 54. You’re not going to want to get wet.
We see a bit of size late in the week. Thursday, 16 July, the swell hits 1.4m, but the period is just 6 seconds, and the wind is still cross-onshore. The energy is 158, but it’s a messy, choppy wave. By Friday, 17 July, it’s 1.8m, and the energy is climbing into the 300s, but the wind is onshore and the period is short. It’s not going to be clean.
The second week brings the biggest swell of the window. From Monday, 20 July, we’re looking at 2.4m with energy values up to 873. That’s a lot of water. But the wind is still a problem – cross-onshore at 30 km/h, with a short 8-second period. For a reef break, that’s just a big, lumpy, blown-out mess. If you’re a kiter, this might be your week, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. The crowds are listed as “often,” so you’d have company in the chaos, but it won’t be worth it.
There are no real standouts in the whole 16-day forecast. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, which is a shame, but it happens. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
