The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer. We’ve got a bit of a rough patch to start, to be honest. For the first week or so, the wind is just not playing nice, and that’s gonna keep things messy. The swell is coming from the NNE, mostly around 4.6 ft to 5.6 ft, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell stuff. The combined energy is low, bouncing around the 200s to 300s, which is moderate at best, but it’s all being blown out by the wind. The water temp is sitting at 74.1°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
We’ve only got one spot in the mix here, and that’s El Agujero. It’s a reef break, intermediate level, and it’s exposed to the swell. The optimum swell direction is NNW, but we’re getting NNE, which is not ideal. The wind is going to be a major problem. From Friday the 7th right through the next week, it’s mostly a cross-on or onshore breeze from the NNE, around 12 to 19 mph. That’s just going to chop it up. The surf reports are all saying “poor surf conditions,” and honestly, that’s what it looks like. There’s no standout here, no hidden gem. It’s a long stretch of just not great stuff.
The swell does pick up a bit around Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, hitting about 5.9 ft to 6.2 ft from the NNE, with the combined energy climbing into the 400s (strong wave energy). The wind is still cross-on though, so it’s going to be lumpy. The period is still short, around 7-8 seconds, so it’s not going to have that proper groundswell push. It’s just more of the same, just a bit bigger.
By the time we get to Saturday the 22nd, we’re looking at the same story: cross-on wind, fresh breeze at 19 mph, and a messy 5.2 ft to 5.6 ft swell. The energy is moderate (251-310), but it’s not going to clean up.
Honestly, if you’re a surfer, there’s nothing here that’s going to get you excited. If you’re a kiter, this beach-and-reef setup with the onshore wind might be worth a look, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. That’s the straight truth. It’s a blank run, and that happens sometimes.

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.
