The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a solid stretch of swell, but the wind is the real story here, and it's not a good one for clean waves.
The whole window is dominated by a persistent NNE wind, blowing right across the break at El Agujero. For the first week, from Sunday the 19th right through to Monday the 27th, we see swell heights climbing from 6 ft up to a solid 10 ft. The combined energy builds from a moderate 262 up to a very strong 1404, so there's plenty of power in the water. But that wind is relentless – it's cross-onshore, sometimes straight onshore, with speeds of 15 to 22 mph. That's a recipe for lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy surf. The period is short (7 to 9 seconds), so it's windswell, not the kind of groundswell that gives you clean lines. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a day for a paddle board.
The only glimmer of something different comes right at the end, around Thursday the 30th of July and Friday the 31st. The swell drops to 5 ft to 4 ft, but the period finally stretches to 10 seconds, hinting at some better quality. The wind, while still onshore, eases to a moderate 9 to 12 mph. The combined energy is still moderate (around 407 down to 290). It's still not ideal, but it's the least bad option on offer. The water temperature is at 73°F with a 1°F anomaly, which is pretty much average for the time of year.
The second week, from the 1st of August, the whole thing just fades out. Swell drops to 3 ft with a pathetic 5-6 second period, and the energy plummets into the weak 60s and 70s. A total flat spell for the remaining days.
To be honest, there are no standouts in this forecast. The entire 16 days is a write-off for quality surf. The waves are there, but the wind ruins them. If you absolutely have to get wet, the most promising, but still poor, window is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, when the wind is a little lighter and the swell has a touch more period. But don't expect much.
Rusty.

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.
