Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Looking ahead over the next 16 days for El Agujero, the honest truth is there isn't a single standout session in the whole run. The forecast is a long stretch of onshore or cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. You’re looking at a full 16-day gap with no recommendations at all. For this spot, that kind of blank run is pretty normal when the trades set in.

We start off on Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of July with tiny, weak swell around 2 to 3 feet from the NNE, with a short period of just 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (52 to 37) and the onshore wind is making a mess of it. Through the rest of the first week, Thursday the 9th through Saturday the 11th, the swell stays small and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. Nothing doing.

Sunday the 12th of July sees a jump in period to 9 seconds from the NNW, with combined energy hitting 225 (moderate) on the morning session, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE at 9 mph. The surface will be bumpy, so the quality isn't there. The water temp is 72°, about average for the time of year, but you won't care about that when you’re battling the chop.

Moving into the second week, the swell size picks up noticeably from Wednesday the 15th onwards, with heights rising to 6 to 6 feet, and combined energy climbing into the 100s and 300s. However, it’s all coming from the NNE with a short to moderate period (6 to 8 seconds), and the wind stubbornly stays cross-on from the NNE or NE at 12 to 19 mph. The surf will be lumpy or choppy every single session. By Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of July, we’re seeing solid 6 to 7 feet of swell, but with moderate cross-onshore winds and a period of 7 to 8 seconds, it’s a messy, blown-out scene. The pick of the whole 16 days is probably that Sunday the 12th morning, with a 4 foot NNW swell at 9 seconds, giving a bit more shape, but it’s still not clean.

Because of the persistent cross-onshore winds and deteriorating surface quality as the swell gets bigger, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Save your energy for a better forecast.

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.
