The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—if you’re looking for a classic Funboard Friday at Majanicho (El Cotillo), you’re going to be waiting a while. The whole 16-day window is a tough stretch of northerly wind and junky, short-period windswell. The swell is coming from the N, which is exactly where the wind is blowing from, so it’s going to be lumpy, bumpy, and blown out for the most part. It’s not a total blank, but we’re looking at a lot of "poor surf conditions" flags from start to finish.

The first real pulse of energy comes through on the 22nd, with combined swell energy at 249 on Saturday morning, and the waves are around 5ft. But it’s all short-period stuff, around 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be reformy and soft. The wind is on it too, a solid 16 mph northerly. This is not the clean, lined-up reef perfection this place can do; it’s more of a washing machine.

We get a bit of a lull on the 23rd, with the swell dropping back to 3ft and the period stretching out to 10 seconds. That’s a bit better, but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. The energy jumps again on the 24th with 275 for the morning, but the 16 to 22 mph NE wind is just ruining any chance of it being glassy.

The real standout, the biggest window of swell, is around the 27th and 28th. The energy climbs into the 400s, with the Thursday morning on the 27th hitting 366 and the 28th morning cranking up to 455. The swell is up to 6ft, but the period is still that junky 7-8 seconds. At this size and with that short period, it’s going to be a grindy, dumpy wave, mostly for experienced guys on a bigger board. And with a fresh 22 mph NNE cross-onshore breeze, it’ll be lumpy. Not the clean, high-performance conditions we want.

There’s another surge on the 30th with the strongest energy of the whole window at 508, but it's the same story: 6ft of windswell and a cross-onshore wind. It looks like a battle, not a pleasure cruise. After the 1st of September, things start to fade back down.

The water temp at the start is 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can get away with a thin suit or a springy.

Look, if you’re a local who knows the bank and can handle a rough, lumpy day, there might be a couple of sneaky ones out there, but for the average punter, it’s not worth the paddle. This setup is more interesting for the kite crew than the surf crew. If the wind swings more offshore, then we're in business, but right now, it's all onshore. Hang tight, it won't stay poor forever. This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Majanicho Surf forecast

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