Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Agujero over the next 16 days.
What’s up, it’s Rusty. I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days look like a total bust for surf. Not a single session worth paddling for. We’ve got *El Agujero* as the only break on the table, and it’s just not happening.
Right off the bat, Friday the 10th morning has a 1.0m swell from the NNE, but the period is only 5 seconds – that’s weak windswell, no power. The combined energy is only 61, which is super low. Water temp is 72°, right where it should be for the season.
Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday all follow the same pattern. Waves from 0.6m to 1.0m, short periods, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes from the N or NNE at 6 to 13 mph. It’s all messy “poor surf conditions” with zero scores.
Moving into the second week, the swell actually builds, but the wind gets worse. By Thursday the 16th, we start seeing 1.7m swell out of the NNE with a combined energy of 215 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind has picked up to a fresh 15 to 19 mph cross-onshore, making the ocean lumpy and choppy. Not for surfing.
The worst of it might be around Sunday the 19th of July. We get a 2.5m swell with a combined energy of 965 – that’s strong wave energy. But the wind is still a nasty cross-onshore at 15-19 mph. At that size (over 8 ft), it’s only for experts, and with that wind, it’s a total mess. Being a reef break, the setup is more interesting for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
We finish out toward the 25th with swell holding between 1.6m and 2.3m, but it’s always that NNE cross-onshore wind at 12 to 16 mph. The crowds are listed as “often”, but thankfully there won’t be any reason for anyone to be out there.
In short, no standout days, no good surf. This spot is usually consistent, so a 16-day blank run is pretty unusual. Things can always change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
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.
