The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell on our hands. The first decent push of swell doesn’t show up until Thursday the 21st of August, so we’re looking at a gap of a few days with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. From today right through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s all small, weak, and blown out – not worth wetting a wetsuit.
The first real pulse arrives on Thursday the 21st. We’ve got some north swell pushing through at about 4 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (253), but the wind is howling out of the NNE at 16 mph and it’s onshore, so it’s going to be messy. Friday the 22nd and Saturday the 23rd look similar – 5 ft on Saturday but with a short 7-second period and those same onshore winds. It’s all tagged “poor surf conditions” every step of the way. To be honest, with that wind and short period, the wave quality just isn’t there.
The standout, if you can call it that, is more of a longer-range look. Around Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th of August, the swell bumps up to 5 ft to 6 ft from the north, with combined energy getting into the moderate-to-strong range (295-398). The period stays short though, around 7-8 seconds, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE at 19-22 mph. That kind of size with fresh breeze means choppy, lumpy conditions. At Majanicho (reef and point), the optimum swell direction is from the north, so the angle is right, but the wind is really going to mess with the shape. This is expert territory once you get over 5 ft, and with the wind on it, it’s going to be a battle. If the wind were lighter or offshore, this would be a proper window. As it stands, it’s more for the hardcore crew who don’t mind a fight.
For the rest of the run into the end of the month and into the first few days of September, it stays similar – waist-to-chest high north swell, onshore winds, and poor quality. There’s no day where the stars align for clean, glassy conditions.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, the best bet is probably Thursday the 27th of August for the biggest push of swell at 6 ft, but expect lumpy, onshore conditions. For everyone else, maybe give it a miss until the forecast changes – and around here, it never stays flat for long.

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.
