Alright, let’s be straight up with you. It is goin’ to be a tough stretch for any kind of decent surf around here. El Agujero is a reef setup, consistent, and exposed to the north-northwest, which is its best direction for swell. But for the next two and a half weeks, the wind is a total nightmare for this spot. It’s blowin’ hard from the north-northeast, pretty much onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, which means the waves are goin’ to be chopped up and messy. There is no good surf on offer at all for the entire period. To put it bluntly, the first real bump of energy doesn’t even try to turn up until around the morning of Thursday, 16 July, when the swell bumps up to 6ft from the north-northeast and the combined wave energy jumps to 272 — still moderate energy — but that wind is still cross-on at 12 mph, so it’s just more chop. Then it gets bigger: by Saturday, 18 July, you’re lookin’ at 7ft to 8ft from the north-northeast with energy readings up around 620 to 688, which is strong energy, but the wind is still cross-on and the period is a short 8 seconds the whole way through. That short period means the waves are goin’ to be fat and sectiony, not the kind of power you want for a reef. That swell size — over 8ft — is really only for experienced surfers if it was any good, but with the onshore wind, it’s just a lumpy, bumpy mess. This setup, with that much cross-onshore wind and that swell size at a reef, would actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be better off waitin’ for a real clean day with a bit of north-northwest swell to light it up proper. This is a blank run, and it’s not unusual for this area when the trade winds lock in. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a no-go for pretty much the full 16 days.

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.
