The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for El Agujero.
Straight up, this 16-day forecast is a heartbreaker. The main issue is a persistent, strong cross-onshore wind out of the NNE that doesn’t give us a break. Water temp is 73°, which is pretty normal for the season, so no surprises there. But the conditions are just messy.
The swell kicks off on Friday, July 24, with a 2.2m (7ft) swell from the NNE, but it’s short period at 7 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 30 km/h (19 mph). The combined energy is moderate at 516, but the wave comment says it all: poor surf. That’s the theme for the whole weekend and into the next week. The swell hangs between 1.5m and 2.4m (5ft to 8ft), but the wind never really eases, always from the NNE, keeping it choppy and lumpy. On Monday, July 27, the wind turns onshore briefly, but it’s still not clean.
By July 31, the swell drops to 0.6m (2ft), with a longer period of 10 seconds from the NW, but the wind is still cross-onshore. The energy is weak at 148. This pattern of small, wind-affected swell drags on into the first week of August. A little spike shows up on Tuesday, August 4, with a 1.5m (5ft) swell from the north at 9 seconds, but again, the cross-onshore wind spoils it. The combined energy is moderate at 346, but it’s not enough.
The best you might find is the morning of Monday, July 27, when the wind is straight onshore but the swell is 1.8m (6ft) from the NNE with an 8-second period. Even then, it’s “poor surf conditions.” Nothing here is a standout. El Agujero is a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell, and it gets crowded "often," so you’ll have company in your misery. It’s a long stretch of rough conditions, and honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing window than paddle surfing for most of the run.
We’re looking at a blank run from the start to the end of the 16 days. There’s no real window of clean, quality waves.
Rusty.
