The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour.
I gotta be honest – this 16-day stretch at Majanicho (reef and point) is a total dud for surfers. Every single time slot comes up as "poor surf conditions" with a zero rating. There are no exceptions, no hidden windows. The wind is blowing onshore from the north to north-northeast, straight into the swell, and it’s got some muscle, from around 9 mph up to 25 mph most days. That’s a solid onshore breeze that’ll kill any chance of a clean wave.
You’ve got some swell to look at, sure. From Sunday the 23rd, it starts around 3 ft, builds to nearly 6 ft by Monday the 24th, and peaks at about 7 ft on Saturday the 29th of August. The swell direction is mainly north-west to north, which is what this spot wants to see. The period gets up to 14 seconds at times, and on the 29th, the combined energy is 839 and 854 (moderate wave energy). But with the wind howling onshore and cross-onshore, it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Those waves won’t have any clean face.
With swell over 5 ft and strong onshore wind at a reef and point break, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re a kiter, you might get something out of it. For a surfer? Nothing doing. This is a total blank run for Majanicho, and on an exposed north shore spot, that’s pretty normal when the trades lock in. Forecasts can change, but right now, save yourself the drive.

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.
