The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the forecast for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be straight with ya – there’s no good surf on offer right now and it’s gonna be a real lean run. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, every single report from El Agujero is tagged as poor surf conditions. The swell is there, but the wind is wrecking it.
The main problem is the wind. It’s blowing from the NE and NNE, mostly cross-on or onshore, at 12 to 19 mph, which is just mashing up the surface. That swell is coming from the NE and NNE, around 4 to 6 ft, with a short period of 6–8 seconds, meaning it’s weak, choppy, and disorganised. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 155 to 440, but it’s all just messy, lumpy, and cross-onshore slop. There’s a bit of a bump in energy around the 15th of August, with the combined energy hitting 440, but it’s still cross-on and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” The water temp is about 74°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
El Agujero is a consistent reef break, but it just can’t handle this wind direction. The optimum swell is from the NNW, and we’re getting the exact opposite. On the few days when the wind is classified as “on,” it’s still not clean enough to score. This blank run is pretty normal for this area with these onshore trades. We’ll have to wait for a change in the wind pattern. For now, the best advice is to leave the board in the car and maybe check back in a week or so – forecasts can change.
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.
