Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on offer for El Agujero over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, the first two weeks of this forecast are a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no surf worth paddling out for until about July 20th. From Friday the 10th right through to the 19th, the conditions are consistently poor. The waves are small, the period is short – mostly 4 to 8 seconds – and there’s a persistent onshore or cross-onshore wind messing up any chance of a clean face. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Friday, July 10th, afternoon – You’ll see 3ft of weak, short-period swell from the NNE, but with a 12 mph onshore wind, it’s just not going to be enjoyable.
Monday, July 20th, morning – This is where things get interesting. The swell pumps up to 10ft from the NNE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light and onshore. The combined energy is really kicking so there’s plenty of power. The report even says the wind and tide are favorable. However, and it’s a big however, that 10ft of swell is simply too big for this break. This is strictly for experts only; beginners and intermediates should stay well clear. It’s a bit of a tease, really.
Unfortunately, for the rest of the forecast through to the 25th, the swell stays on the smaller side, the wind stays cranky, and the conditions are described as poor or marginal. There’s no real standout window for a clean, fun session for the average surfer.
So there you have it. A long wait for a brief window of size that’s only for the brave, and then back to the waiting game. Keep your eye on the horizon, because forecasts can change.
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.
