The Lowdown

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

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak run. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The swell is there, but the wind is constantly messing it up, and the wave quality is labelled as poor for every single session. You’d be wasting your time.

We start off this Monday afternoon, the 13th of July, and it’s already a struggle. A small 3 foot swell from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds, is coming in, but a 9 mph cross-on breeze from the NNE is making it choppy and unattractive. The combined energy is only 117, so it’s weak. Water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year.

The conditions just don’t change. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week see the swell drop even smaller, with the same cross-shore mess. Thursday the 16th sees a bit more size, pushing 4 to 5 feet, and the energy climbs to 145, but the wind is still a 12 mph cross-on, so it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess.

Heading into the weekend, the 18th and 19th, the swell actually builds to 5 to 6 feet, and the energy is getting into the moderate range (322, 321), but the wind is still ripping at 16 mph from the NNE, keeping everything cross-on or onshore. It’s all junk.

The second week doesn’t save us either. By the 23rd of July, Thursday, we get the biggest swell of the whole period, 8 feet from the NNE at 8 seconds. The energy jumps to 623, which is strong, but the wind is still onshore at 16 mph. That’s just a blown-out, lumpy mess. At that size, it’s getting too big for beginners, but with those winds, it’s not even good for experts.

The swell hangs around 7 feet and above through the 26th, with energy well into the 400s and 500s, but it’s the same story every day: cross-on winds from the NNE at 12-16 mph. The surf is always classed as poor. At a spot like El Agujero, which is a reef break, you’d normally want clean conditions. With this constant wind, it’s a hard pass for a paddle. Honestly, with that much wind and that much swell, it might be more interesting for a kite session than a surf.

So, no standouts here. Not a single day worth highlighting. We’ve got a full 16 days of garbage. Sometimes you get a blank stretch like this, and it’s just how it goes. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing for a surfer to get excited about.

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.

El Agujero is 2 km (1 miles) from Galdar. If you plan a holiday in Gran Canaria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Galdar. Galdar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
