The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is a tough one for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a solid run of “poor surf conditions” that starts now and looks set to hang around for a long stretch. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't pop up until the start of August, so we’re looking at a bit of a dry spell.

The first sniff of a change comes in the morning of Monday, 3rd August. The swell is still small at 4 ft from the N, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell pulse. The energy reading is a moderate 529, and we’ll have light cross-onshore winds. It’s a marginal call, but that’s the best we’ve seen in a while.

The standout moment, if you can call it that, is the Monday afternoon of 3rd August. The swell drops to 4 ft from the N, but the period is still a solid 12 seconds, giving it a moderate energy level of 529. The wind goes light cross-onshore from the NNW. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest and most promising the window gets. For a spot that’s a consistent reef break, it might just offer a few longer, more lined-up waves.

After that, we’re back into a flat to poor run. The morning of Saturday, 7th August sees a pulse of 5 ft, but it’s short period, cross-onshore wind, and the energy is weak at 245. Not worth paddling for.

The last call is for the morning of Saturday, 8th August. The swell is 7 ft from the NNE with an 8-second period, and the energy is a moderate 454, but it’s a marginal forecast with light onshore winds. Given the size, it’s getting into the intermediate zone, but without clean wind, it’s not going to be a winner.

So, the long and short of it is: hang tight through the end of July. The first week of August offers a brief window of hope, but it’s a long way off and the forecasts are a bit hazy. Don't get your hopes up too high, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
