Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let’s get into it. This 16-day outlook for El Agujero is a real tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a pretty grim run where the conditions are just constantly fighting against us. It’s not that there’s no swell, but the wind and the wave quality are just not lining up. The water temp is sitting at a normal 72° for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re staring at the choppy lines.
Starting from Saturday the 4th through to the end of the first week, it’s a write-off. The wind is hammering straight onshore or cross-onshore, with speeds from 9 to 16 mph, just butchering the waves. The swell is there, running 3 to 4 ft from the N to NNE, but with that wind, the surf quality is described as poor, so I wouldn't bother paddling out. The combined energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 57 to 278, but it doesn’t matter when the surface is all blown out.
The middle of the week, around the 10th, we see a spike in size hitting 5 ft on Friday morning (combined energy 162, moderate), but that cross-onshore NNE wind at 16 mph makes it a messy, choppy affair. Honestly, with that kind of wind and a beach/reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Now, there’s one bright spot, but it’s a long, long way off. We’ve gotta wait until Sunday the 19th of July. On the Sunday morning, the swell pumps up to 7 ft from the NNE, with the combined energy hitting a solid 502 – that’s some serious push. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is still onshore at 16 mph, so the quality is still listed as poor. That’s a real heartbreaker. On the plus side, the optimum direction for El Agujero is NNW, and this swell is coming from the NNE, so it’s not even perfectly lined up. For a reef break, it needs the period to be a bit longer than 7 seconds to really shape up, and this one is a bit on the short side.
If you’re an expert, that Sunday morning might be worth a look for the raw power, but don’t expect any beauty. For the rest of us, it’s a long, flat, and choppy two weeks ahead. Get the kite gear out, or just sit this one out.
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.
