The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a pretty grim stretch for El Agujero. If you’re looking for a clean, lined-up wave, you’re going to be waiting a long time. The entire 16-day outlook is a write-off for decent surf. The wind is almost always coming from the NE or NNE, keeping it cross-on or directly onshore, and the water’s going to be a mess of chop and lumpy bumps. The swell energy starts off weak, with a combined energy of just 46 (weak), and even though it builds to strong levels by the end of the month – hitting 964 (strong to very strong wave energy) by the 28th of July afternoon – the wind never lets up to give us a clean face. The swell direction is mostly N or NNE, which is okay for the break, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is ruining it.

The water temp is sitting at 73°F with a 2°F anomaly – that’s already a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s notable. But you won’t care about that when you’re fighting onshore slop.

The first few days are a total dud. From Wednesday 15th July through to the end of July, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell does start to push up over 5 ft around the 18th and 19th, but it’s still short-period windswell (6-7 seconds) and the wind is cross-on. By the 20th, the swell hits 6 ft with a bit more period (8 seconds), but the wind is directly onshore, so it’s just a bumpy, closed-out mess. That’s not beginner-friendly either – anything over 5 ft with onshore wind is a handful.

From the 22nd to the 24th, the swell holds around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind swaps between on and cross-on, and the wave comment stays “poor surf conditions.” The 25th and 26th see the swell bump up to 5 ft-6 ft, but the wind is now a fresh 19 mph cross-on, making it lumpy. The energy is climbing into the moderate range (320-427), but honestly, it’s just not surfable.

The last few days of the month, from the 27th to the 30th, the swell really gets going – 7 ft to 8 ft, with periods hitting 9 seconds and energy readings over 900 (strong to very strong wave energy). That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is still cross-on or onshore, with a fresh breeze. For a reef break, this is a no-go unless you’re a masochist. The sets will be heavy and walled up, and with that onshore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. This is strictly expert-only territory if you even try it, and I wouldn’t bother.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the best of a bad bunch is probably the 20th and 21st of July, when the swell is 6 ft from the NNE with a 7-8 second period and the wind is onshore – but even that’s generous. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent cross-on wind and building swell.

So, no standouts, no hidden gems. The whole 16-day window is a blank run. This is one of those times where the forecast just doesn’t have anything for us. It won’t stay poor forever, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
