The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the charts for your area, and it’s a rough stretch. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. It’s a long, dry spell of poor surf, starting now and running right through the 17th of August.

The only spot in the mix is El Agujero, a reef break. It’s consistent, it’s open to the swell, and it likes a swell from the NNW. But the wind is always blowing from the wrong direction – mostly NNE or NE, between 9 and 19 mph – and it’s almost always cross-onshore. That makes for choppy, lumpy, and messy conditions. The swell direction is never lining up right for this spot.

We kick off on Sunday morning, August 2nd, with a weak NNE windswell, about 4 ft, with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy is 113 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is onshore, making it ugly. That afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph, still onshore, and it’s worse. From Monday through Saturday, August 8th, it’s the same thing: 3 ft to 5 ft of short-period windswell, cross-onshore winds, and the surf is just poor. Energy stays moderate, between 116 and 262.

Then, on August 9th, the afternoon shows a bit of a longer period – 10 seconds – with 4 ft of swell and a combined energy of 320 (moderate wave energy). That’s a glimmer, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s not clean. By the 13th and 14th of August, the swell gets bigger, up to 6 ft to 7 ft, and the energy hits strong numbers, 476 and 466. That’s a lot of water, but with fresh cross-onshore winds at 19 mph, it’s a lumpy, blown-out mess. For a reef, that’s not worth it. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Honestly, with that much wind and such poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling. There’s nothing to get excited about. Sometimes it goes like this, and forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.

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.
