The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch and the first surfable day that shows up on the cards is August 1st. But even then, it’s not good. The whole run from the 1st through to the 16th is a write-off for decent waves. The wind is a constant problem, blowing onshore from the north or north-northeast, with speeds sitting at 12 to 19 mph, and even hitting 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s going to mess up any chance of clean faces. The swell is small and weak, with heights mostly between 2 ft and 4 ft, and the period is short, often 6 or 7 seconds, so it’s just choppy, weak windswell. The combined wave energy for the whole period is moderate, with values like 157, 195, or 241, but it’s all onshore junk. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The only break on offer is Majanicho, a reef and point setup that’s exposed to the north. It’s consistent, but it’s an expert-only spot. The optimum swell direction is from the north, which is what we get, but the wind is blowing straight onshore from the same direction, ruining it. The swell is too small and weak, and the wind is too strong. For a couple of days in mid-August, around the 13th, the swell bumps up to 5 ft with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy rises to 327 and 351, but it’s still all onshore wind. That’s a bigger, messier, onshore slop. Honestly, for a paddle surfer, this is a complete dud. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent onshore wind and moderate swell energy.
There are no standouts here. The best you can say is that August 13th and 14th have a bit more size, but it’s still poor quality. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but don’t expect much. The lack of any decent surf for this long is not unusual for this area, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
Rusty.

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.

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.
