Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Agujero over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for El Agujero. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a tough outlook. The forecast is a bit of a write-off for the whole 16-day window, with no real standout sessions to get excited about.
The issue is persistent onshore to cross-onshore winds from the north and northeast that just won't let up. The water temp is sitting around 72°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least you won't be shivering while you're getting chopped up.
We start off with a few small pulses. Saturday the 11th is tiny, with a weak 2ft onshore windswell at 5 seconds – that's nothing but a dribble, and the energy reading is a pathetic 32. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 12th sees a slight bump to 3ft from the NNW, but it's still onshore and messy. The energy gets a bit better, up to 156 and 198, but the conditions are still rated as poor.
The pattern continues right through the week. Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 17th are all the same story: small to moderate swell, but the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave. The swell period is mostly short, between 5 and 8 seconds, creating weak, lumpy surf. The wind is a constant 12-16 mph from the NE or NNE, keeping the surface a mess.
Then things get a bit bigger, but uglier. From the 20th of July right through to the 26th, the swell builds from 5ft to 8ft, with the energy ramping up into the hundreds (peaking at 1057 on the 22nd). That's a lot of power, but the wind is still howling from the northeast at 16-19 mph, mostly cross-onshore. This creates a choppy, lumpy, and frankly unappealing situation. The period is a bit longer, around 9-10 seconds, but it's wasted energy. With that much wind and a beach-and-reef setup, this is honestly looking more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
So, the skinny is: there's no good surf on offer in the entire 16-day run. The swell is either too small and weak, or too big and blown out. It's a rare blank run for this spot, which is usually more consistent. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, I'd leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
