Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what El Agujero is serving up over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The waves are there at times, but the wind just won’t give us a break, keeping things messy and disappointing. This is a consistent reef break, exposed to the swell, but the stars are not aligning.

Right from the start, Wednesday the 8th of July, we’ve got onshore wind ruining the tiny 3ft swell. It’s a write-off. That sets the tone for the next few days. Through the first week, we see swell bumping up a little – Thursday the 9th brings 4ft, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, giving us poor surf. The wind stays stubborn from the NNE, never cleaning up. By the weekend, Saturday the 11th, the swell drops right off to almost nothing. It’s a grim start.

The second weekend, around the 18th and 19th of July, the swell actually starts to get some size – we’re looking at 6.5ft to 7ft by Saturday morning, with the combined swell energy climbing into serious territory (390 and up to 607 on Sunday). This is promising for power, but the damn wind is still on or cross-onshore. It’s going to be big, bumpy, and messy. For an intermediate break, 6.5ft is getting up there, and with those conditions, it’s going to be a handful for anyone but the experts. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that steady blow.

The whole outlook has a gap with no good surf from now until, well, basically the end. The only slight glimmer comes on the 23rd of July – that’s a Thursday. You’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1256. That’s a lot of water moving. But again, it’s cross-onshore. It’ll be a big, angry ocean. For the truly skilled out there, it might offer some raw power, but for most of us, it’s just another day to watch from the beach. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

No standout days here, I’m afraid. The swell is trying, but the wind is the enemy.

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.
