The Lowdown
Right, let’s see what we’ve got for El Agujero. Over the next 16 days, this spot is going to be a bit of a mixed bag—mostly a lot of onshore wind and choppy, messy conditions. The water’s sitting at 74°F right now, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a touch toastier than normal.
There’s a real dry spell to start with. From Friday 17 July right through to the end of the month, the consistent NNE wind is blowing cross-on or onshore, and the swell is short-period stuff—mostly 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy builds from 130 (weak) up to 1804 (very strong) by 28 July, but it’s all sloppy. The surf is just poor, with a lot of lumpy, choppy, onshore mess. Nothing to get excited about for a paddle surfer. If you’re into kites, this setup might be more interesting.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday 1 August. That morning, the wind swings around to a light offshore from the S at just 3 mph, and the swell is 3 ft from the NE with a 5-second period. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (123). The afternoon gets even better: a clean 2 ft wave from the NNW with a 9-second period, driven by a light cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s not big, but it’s the only window of clean, surfable conditions. The water temperature anomaly wasn’t recorded for that day, but given the pattern, it’ll still be warm.
So, there you have it. A long wait for a short, clean window on the 1st of August. That’s your best bet. Everything else is a write-off for a clean surf session.

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.

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.
