Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough for getting a decent wave around here. We’ve got a long, flat spell on the horizon, and you’re gonna need some patience if you’re chasing anything rideable.

Right now, and for the first stretch of the outlook, it’s mostly a write-off. The north-northeast winds are blowing onshore, and the swell we’ve got is short-period and weak. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort, but the surf is just messy. Honestly, for the next few days, you’re better off keeping the board in the car.

We’re looking at a gap of nearly a week with nothing good on offer. The swell stays small and the wind stays on it. There’s a slight uptick in size around the 12th, with waves pushing up to 5ft, but the wind is still a problem – blowing onshore and making things lumpy. The energy is moderate at best (410), but it’s not going to translate into anything clean.

There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of Sunday the 13th. The wind drops right out, just a slight air, and we get a small cross-on breeze. The swell is down to 4ft from the north with a short 8-second period. It’s still a marginal call, the kind of day where you might get a few if you’re desperate and the tide lines up. I wouldn’t plan a trip around it.

Another possible look is on the morning of Monday the 14th. The wind is light, almost glassy, and we have a slightly longer period swell – 13 seconds from the northwest. It’s only 3ft, but the cleaner conditions make it more interesting. The energy is moderate (318). This is a better prospect than most, but it’s still small.

From there, it’s a downward slide. The wind picks back up and the swell fades. The period drops, and everything just turns to mush. The second week looks like more of the same – small, weak, and blown out. There’s a brief moment on the 19th with lighter winds, but the swell is weak and unimpressive.

For Majanicho, this is a stretch of poor surf. The setup here is a reef and point, which can handle a bit more size and longer period, but the wind is just making it a choppy mess. If the wind ever goes offshore and a proper groundswell fills in, this place will light up. But for now, it’s not happening.

If you’re really jonesing, keep an eye on the long-range for a bigger pulse, but the early calls are not promising. The combo of wind and short-period swell is just no good. This might be a better time for the kites if that’s your thing – the onshore wind and waves are more suited to that than paddling.

Hang tight, keep the wax on, and wait for the next change. It’s got to get better than this.

Rusty.
