The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the surf for El Agujero over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim. We’re looking at a stretch of poor surf conditions that runs right through the period. The swell is on the small side for most of it, and the wind is almost always coming from the north-east, putting it cross-on or onshore, which just kills the quality. This isn’t a spot that’s going to give you an easy ride right now.
The first real recommendation doesn’t come until Monday, July 15th, and even then it’s a tough sell. The swell is only 3ft from the NNW, which is actually the right direction, but the period is a short 9 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on 6 mph. The combined energy is weak (165). It’s just not good. The water temperature is 73°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole window is a bust. The swell does build a bit, especially around the 26th and 27th of July, with waves getting up to 7ft, but that’s from the NNE with a short 7-second period, and the wind is still cross-on or onshore at 12-16 mph. The combined energy gets moderate (around 544 on the 26th afternoon), but with that wind, it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess. For a reef break, that’s not a good combo. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best you could hope for is that the wind swings a bit more offshore, but based on what’s in front of me, it’s a solid 16-day blank. It’s a consistent break, so it’s unusual to have such a poor run, but the forecasts are what they are. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
