Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright team, let's get into it. The surf has been pretty quiet for a lot of this stretch, but we got a few windows that are going to get you hollering.

We are looking at a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The start of the period is pretty slow, with a gap of a few days with basically nothing on offer. The swell direction isn't right and the winds are messy. It's not until around the 20th that things start to clean up, and then we've got some proper potential early in the second week.

Sunday, the 14th is where the first hint of life shows up. Early morning at Majanicho, before the wind kicks up, it’s looking clean. It’s small, a 2ft with the swell coming from the NNW with a long, clean period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 207, but with the glassy conditions on that high-quality reef and point, it could be worth a look. The water temp is 75°F, which is right on the money for this time of year, so no complaints there.

Then things go quiet again for a few days. The next real standout is on Sunday the 22nd. This is the one to circle. The period between the 16th and the 19th is pretty much a washout with junky, onshore winds and a rising, but messy, swell.

But on the 22nd, we have a proper clean-up. Early morning, Tuesday the 22nd to be exact, we're looking at near-perfect conditions. The wind is light and glassy, the swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW with a solid 13-second period. The energy is up at 533, indicating a strong pulse of swell. The setup at Majanicho (El Cotillo) is a reef and point break, and with that north-northwest groundswell and no wind, this is going to be the standout of the entire period. It's not huge, but it's going to be clean, lined-up, and holding some shape. This is the time to be out.

After that, we roll into the final stretch. On Sunday the 28th, there's another pulse of long-period energy. Early morning sees 4ft of NNW swell with a very long 15-second period. The energy is right up there at 632, which is strong. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the break should be nice and clean. However, that long period swell can be a little tricky at a point, but with those conditions, it should be handling well. It's a promising, though less certain, finale for the 16-day window.

So, to sum it up: the middle of this week and next is a write-off. If you want a surf, get out early on Sunday the 14th, but the real one to clear your schedule for is the morning of Monday the 22nd. The 28th also has potential as a promising, long-range call.

That's the long and short of it. Keep it salty.
