The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s happening at El Agujero, but in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, the outlook is rough for the next 16 days. There’s a big gap at the start with nothing to recommend. From August 17th all the way to the 26th, the surf is just poor. The wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore out of the NNE and NE, blowing between 9 mph and 19 mph, ruining any chance of clean waves.
You won't see any real energy until the very end of the period. Starting on the 30th of August, the swell builds. The combined energy jumps into the thousands, hitting 1080 on the afternoon of the 30th and peaking at 1359 on the morning of the 31st, which is a lot of juice (strong wave energy). Wave heights get to around 6 to 7 ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore.
The only session that even gets a nod is Monday morning, August 31st. It’s called "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." You’ve got a 6.6 ft swell from the north with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is cross-onshore at 13 mph, so it won't be glassy, but that long period can make a reef break like El Agujero hold up better. The water temp is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
For a spot that’s supposed to be consistent and exposed, this is a dry spell. With waves around 6.6 ft and consistent cross-shore wind, this setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than regular surfing. We just need the wind to clock around to the north-northwest, which is the sweet direction here. That’s not in the cards any time soon.
Hang tight.

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.
