Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: there’s nothing worth paddling out for at El Agujero over the next 16 days. This is a consistent reef break that usually handles a good NNW swell, but the whole forecast window is a write-off. Every single session from July 5 through July 20 is tagged “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. The water is sitting at a typical 72°, about average for this time of year.
The first week is a bust – tiny swell (2.3 to 4.9 ft), mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds from the NNE at 12-15 mph, and weak combined energy (29 to 133). Short periods (4-6 seconds) mean junky, gutless waves. Even when the swell picks up after July 10, the wind stays wrong and choppy. By July 18-20, the energy jumps to strong levels (626-771) with 5.2 to 7.5 ft swell, but it’s still messy onshore NNE wind and poor quality. No standout days, no clean corners. For a spot that’s normally consistent, this blank run is unusual – but sometimes Mother Nature just shuts it 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.
