The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through it. Looking at the next 16 days for El Agujero, it’s a bleak picture, plain and simple. The surf quality is consistently poor for the whole run. The wave energy sits in a moderate range, roughly between (83) and (378), but it never lines up right.
From the very start, Sunday, August 9th, all the way to Monday, August 24th, we’re stuck under a persistent onshore and cross-onshore breeze. The swell is coming from the NNE, mostly between 4 and 6 feet, but the period is short, only 5 to 9 seconds. That means the waves are choppy, weak, and just ugly. For the first week or so, up to around the 16th of August, a few mornings start clean, but the wind jumps on it fast, ruining it before you can get a wave.
Cast your eyes forward to Wednesday, August 19th. That’s your best shot. The swell is around 5 feet from the NNE, and the period stretches to 8-9 seconds, which is a little more promising. The wave energy hits (367), so there’s finally some power. The wind is blowing “on” and looks like it could be glassy for the morning and afternoon. This is the only real window that doesn’t look totally average.
After that, from the 20th of August, the cross-onshore wind is back with a vengeance, the swell drops, and we’re back to the choppy, messy stuff right through to the end. The energy slumps to weak levels, with a poor reading of (83) on the 23rd.
With this constant short-period chop and messy wind, El Agujero is looking way better for kite surfing than anything on a paddle board. There’s no true standout here. It’s a long, dry spell.
Rusty, out. Keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.

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.
