Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Agujero over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for El Agujero over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. The whole 16-day window is looking grim, and honestly, there’s not a single day I’d be stoked to paddle out. The forecast shows nothing but poor surf conditions from start to finish. We’re looking at a solid two-week blank run, which is a real bummer.
The first week is all tiny, weak, and choppy. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are small with swell around 3 ft to 3 ft from the NNE, but the period is super short – just 4 to 5 seconds – so there’s no power behind it. Wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a messy, blown-out mess. Water temp is sitting at 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The second half of the first week, from Thursday the 9th through the weekend, sees a slight bump in swell height, peaking around 4 ft on Friday the 10th, but the period stays short and the wind remains moderate cross-onshore. The combined swell energy is weak, never breaking past 87 (weak energy). It’s just not worth the drive.
Around Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th, we finally get a bit of a longer period – 9 to 10 seconds from the NNW – and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 118 to 122. But the swell is still small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a tease more than anything.
By the second week, from Tuesday the 15th onward, the swell builds. We’re talking 4 ft to 7 ft by Saturday the 18th, with periods around 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy gets strong, reaching 489 (strong energy) on Saturday afternoon. But here’s the killer – the wind is consistently cross-onshore from the NNE at 15 to 19 mph, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" every single time. The setup at El Agujero is a reef break, but with that much wind and that short a period, it’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and honestly, more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Anything over 5 ft for beginners is sketchy, and by Thursday the 16th it’s pushing 6 ft, which is expert territory only, but the quality just isn’t there.
There are no standouts. No hidden gems. Just a long, flat, windy outlook. The area can have quiet spells, but this is a long one. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save your energy.
