The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for La Aguada over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start of the outlook is a bit of a write-off. There’s just nothing doing for the first week. From Tuesday the 14th right through to the 20th, the conditions are pretty poor. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is all over the place, cross-shore and onshore, with no clean windows. You’re looking at a blank run of about 7 days where you wouldn’t bother paddling out.
The first real glimmer of hope pops up on Saturday the 18th. The morning is a no-go, but by the afternoon we get a very light southwesterly breeze, turning the wind cross-offshore. The swell is a weak 2 ft from the east, but the combined energy is only 92, so it’s more about the clean conditions than any power. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. You’d have to be desperate for a splash.
After that, it’s another quiet spell with poor conditions until we get to the end of the outlook. The standout window is shaping up for Sunday the 26th. The afternoon session looks like the best on offer. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the east-southeast, with a moderate combined energy of 503, giving it some decent push. The wind is gentle from the north-northwest, making for a clean, cross-offshore breeze. It’s a solid, fun-sized wave for the more experienced crew. The morning is a bit messy with cross-shore winds, but that afternoon is the pick.
The following Monday the 27th has some swell, but the wind is lighter and more onshore, making it marginal. The 28th and 29th see a drop in quality again.
So, if you’re hanging out for a wave, Sunday the 26th afternoon is the one to pencil in. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest and most powerful session we’ll see in the whole forecast. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Information about the La Aguada Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Aguada provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Aguada can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Aguada 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 (La Aguada) 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 La Aguada 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.
