Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for El Agujero is a tough one. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for decent waves. Not a single session gets the nod. There’s simply no quality on offer, from now right through to the end of the period on the 21st of July.

We're looking at a solid two weeks plus of poor surf conditions. The wind is the biggest problem. For the entire run, it’s hammering in from the north-northeast or northeast, mostly side-onshore or straight onshore. That’s not what you want at a reef setup pointing northwest. It’s going to be choppy, messy, and blown out nearly every day.

Now, you see the swell size does pick up. From the 16th of July we see the average height climbing over 5 ft, and by the 18th, it’s pushing 7 ft. The combined energy jumps steadily from moderate (129) up to strong (645) by the 20th. The period stays short though, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, so it's just local wind slop. That swell direction is mostly NNE, coming right down the throat of that onshore wind, and almost never from the optimum NNW direction.

Even on the 19th and 20th of July when the wind goes to "on" for a full day, the swell is still close to 7 ft with an onshore wind. For an exposed, consistent reef, that spells messy, lumpy conditions. On the 16th and 17th, the swell is just over 5 ft, but still blown sideways by a steady 12-16 mph cross-onshore breeze.

Honestly, for a spot like this, the whole setup from the 16th onwards – strong wind, decent but sloppy swell, and a beach-and-reef setup – it’d be far more interesting for the kite-surfing crew than for paddle surfers. There’s just no window for a clean wave here. We’ll have to wait for a change in the pattern. Forecasts can shift, but for now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
