The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is: the next 16 days are a real struggle. We’ve only got one spot, El Agujero, a consistent reef break, but the conditions are just not cooperating. The water’s sitting at 73°F, which is about average for this time of year.
From Tuesday, July 21st, right through to Wednesday, August 5th, it’s the same old story. Persistent NNE winds, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is coming from the same direction. The combined energy figures are moderate, bouncing between 258 and 817, but that wind is killing the surface. There’s no clean, offshore wind to be found. Swell heights run from 5ft up to 8ft, with periods hanging between 6 and 8 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, weak and junky. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” for every single time slot, and the score is a flat zero for the whole run. It’s a complete blank.
There is no standout day. Not one. The swell pushes to 8ft on the 25th, 26th, and 30th of July, but with fresh cross-onshore winds and short period, that’s just a big, lumpy mess. For beginners, anything over 5ft with this wind is rough, and at 8ft, that’s expert-only territory, but the wind is so bad even experts won’t want it. It’s a reef break, and with this short-period NNE swell, it’s not going to wrap in clean.
Honestly, this is looking more like a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one. The wind is strong and steady, the swell is there, but the quality for a surfboard is just not there. For a paddle surfer, you’re looking at a long stretch of days with nothing to offer. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid 16 days of poor surf.
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.
