The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one.
Look, for the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a pretty grim run. The only spot on the cards is El Agujero, and honestly, it’s just not happening. The pattern is stubborn: a persistent NNE wind is blowing straight into the bay, keeping things messy and lumpy. The swell is there, but it's all short-period windswell, and the wind just ruins any chance of a decent wave.
From Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to the end of the month, it’s a write-off. The swell height builds from 6 ft up to 8 ft, with the combined energy rising from a moderate 275 up to a strong 828 by the 26th, but it’s all for nothing. The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, creating nothing but chop. The water temp is a normal 73° for the time of year, but you won’t be feeling it with that wind in your face.
We get a tiny glimmer on the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. The wind drops right off to a light 3 mph from the north, blowing directly offshore. The swell drops to 5 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is a weak 285. The forecast calls it "marginal," and I’d call it a Hail Mary. It’s the only time in the whole window where the wind is clean, but the swell is small and inconsistent. If you’re desperate, paddle out then, but don’t expect much.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The swell drops below 3 ft for the first week of August, with the energy falling to a weak 65. The winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell period is a pathetic 5 to 7 seconds. For the last week of the outlook, from the 5th and 6th of August, we see a slight bump back to 4 ft - 5 ft, but the cross-onshore wind is still there, making it a choppy mess.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the solid wind and chop from the 22nd to the 31st of July might look interesting. For a paddle surfer, this is a two-week desert. The only chance, and it’s a slim one, is that dawn patrol on the 1st of August. Keep an eye on the charts, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
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.
