La Aguada Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for La Aguada over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with some clean windows but plenty of chop to work around too.

The period kicks off with a bit of a flat spell. We've got no real surf to speak of for the first few days. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July see some waves, but the conditions are pretty poor and not worth paddling out for. Things look a bit grim until Tuesday afternoon, when we finally get something to work with.

Now, the standout session for me is Tuesday the 7th of July afternoon. The wind is offshore from the west at 16 mph, keeping things clean, and we've got a solid 7 ft swell rolling in from the SSW. It's a moderate energy system (1229), so there's some punch there. This is about as good as it gets in this stretch, offering some proper waves for the experienced crew. If you've got the skills, get out there.

Wednesday the 8th drops right off again, with tiny 2 ft and 1 ft swells and not much energy. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are mostly flat with glassy mornings offering tiny 2 ft to 2 ft waves. The water is about average for the time of year, no major temperature anomaly to report.

The following weekend, Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, sees some more size, but the winds are messy. The best chance there is Sunday morning the 12th with a 4 ft ESE swell and light offshore wind. The swell period is a long 13 seconds though, so it's a long-period groundswell, which can make beach breaks a bit straight. Still, it's the best looking option on that day with clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (674), so it'll have some weight.

After that, the forecast gets a bit gnarly. From the middle of July onwards, we see a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore wind, with a couple of solid pulses of swell. The 18th of July sees a 7 ft ESE swell, but it's a complete write-off with messy sideshore winds. The 19th of July Sunday morning has a massive 10 ft swell with huge energy (3794), but with a fresh cross-shore wind, it's going to be a lumpy, difficult mess. This kind of power and size is strictly for the experts only, and even then, it's not going to be pretty.

Overall, if you're after clean waves, your best bet is that Tuesday afternoon on the 7th. The rest of the period is either too small, too messy, or too onshore for decent surfing. We've got a long gap from the 13th of July right through to the end of the outlook with solid waves but awful conditions.

Alright, keep your eyes on the horizon. Rusty out.
