The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the table for the next 16 days at El Agujero.
To be straight with you, this stretch is going to be a tough one. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for quality surf. There are no good options to recommend. The swell is constant, but the wind is almost always a problem. From the very first record on August 1st right through to the last on August 16th, it’s a near-continuous run of poor conditions with scores of zero. The only slight shift comes right at the end on the morning of August 15th, which bumps up to a "marginal" rating, but even that’s not enough to call a session.
The issue is clear: almost every day is plagued by cross-onshore or onshore wind, mostly from the NNE, gusting between 12 and 19 mph. This keeps the surf choppy, lumpy, and messy. The swell height does build through the period, starting around 4 ft and climbing to over 7 ft by the final week, with the combined energy climbing steadily into strong territory. But with that constant dirty wind, it’s never clean enough to enjoy.
Given this is a consistent reef break, and the wind is relentless, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through this entire run. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be giving this one a miss until that wind pattern shifts.
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.
