The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what El Agujero has cookin'.
Just gotta be upfront: the next 16 days are a bust for decent paddle surfing. Not a single session in the window gets a thumbs up. The problem is simple – the swell is hammering in from the NNE to NE, but this break needs a clean NNW swell to get working. It's a total mismatch.
Saturday the 18th starts it off small and sad. Waves around 5 ft with a weak, short period of 7 seconds, and a rough cross-onshore wind at 15 mph making it choppy. It's downhill from there.
From Sunday the 19th all the way to Sunday the 2nd of August, the same story plays out. The swell gets big, even building to powerful levels – readings in the 900s and even 1300s (strong to very strong energy) by late July, with wave faces hitting 8 ft to 10 ft. That’s expert-level size, but it’s coming from the wrong angle. The wind is stuck in a groove, cross-onshore from the NNE, sitting at 15 to 19 mph. It just stays messy. The period does improve, hitting 9-10 seconds later on which would normally mean better shaped waves, but the direction and wind kill any hope.
Water temp is a mild 73°, pretty much average for the time of year, so no shock there.
If you're into kite surfing, the constant strong onshore wind and those lumpy waves from around July 28th onwards might look interesting. But for a surfboard? A big, fat zero. The wind never cleans up, and the swell is blowing its energy in the wrong direction. No standout day here, no hidden gem. Just got to sit this one out and wait for the angle to swing around.
Rusty.

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.
