The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the coast. To be honest, mate, the next sixteen days at El Agujero are a real struggle. We’re in a flat spell that just won’t let up, and the wind is a constant headache. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 1st of August, and even then, it’s not worth paddling out for.

From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Sunday the 16th of August, the surf is a write-off. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind is a stubborn, moderate breeze from the NNE, blowing either onshore or cross-onshore, and that’s gonna chop up whatever swell is there. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s not the issue.

The swell energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 166 and 153 on the Saturday, and it just doesn’t build into anything clean. The swell height is always around 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the NNE, with a short period of 6 or 7 seconds – that’s just windswell, no real grunt behind it. The waves will be weak and messy.

Late in the period, around the 14th and 15th of August, the swell does bump up a fair bit. We’re lookin’ at 7 ft to 8 ft from the NNE, with a period stretchin’ to 8 or 9 seconds. The energy ramps up too, with a reading of 1168 on the 15th, which is moderate to strong. But here’s the kicker – the wind is still cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s gonna be a lumpy, blown-out mess. A 8 ft cross-onshore wave at a reef break is only for the experts, and even then, it’s not gonna be pretty. For beginners, it’s way too big.

There are no standouts here. Not a single moment in the entire sixteen days where the conditions line up. The break is consistent, but the wind is just not playing ball. If you’re desperate, the 16th of August might have a bigger swell, but with that onshore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a tough run, but it won’t stay poor forever.

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.
