The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the surf gods aren't smiling on us right now. The first recommendation doesn't show up until the very end of the period, so we've got a long, dry gap to get through.
The pattern is pretty grim. We've got a persistent northerly wind howling at 15 to 22 mph, blowing straight onshore. The swell is coming from the north, but it's short-period windswell, mostly around 7 seconds. That's going to be choppy and messy, with no real shape to it. The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Right now, through late July and into the first days of August, there's just nothing to recommend. The conditions are all "poor." It's just a write-off.
Then, on Tuesday, August 4th, we finally see a flicker of hope. The afternoon shows a tiny swell, just 1 ft, but it's a long-period groundswell from the northwest at 11 seconds. It's still blowing onshore at 19 mph, so it won't be pretty, but it's the only thing that changes.
The real standout, and the only thing worth pointing a board at, comes on Wednesday, August 5th. The morning brings a 3 ft swell from the north-northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind finally drops to a moderate 16 mph. It's still onshore, but the afternoon is a little better, with a 3 ft swell from the north-northwest. It's small, it's weak, and the wind is still onshore, but after two weeks of rubbish, it's the best we've got. For the experts, the reef and point break at Majanicho might offer a few crumbly walls, but don't expect much.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It's a long stretch of poor conditions. Keep your gear ready, because forecasts can change, but for now, don't hold your breath. It's a kite-surfing setup for most of it, not a paddle-surfing one.
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. 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.
