The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a honest look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the surf outlook for Majanicho is a grim one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch where the conditions just aren’t coming together for a decent paddle. The wind is hammering onshore from the North and North-North-East for almost the entire period, which is about the worst direction for this exposed reef and point break. That means choppy, bumpy, and blown-out waves. Even when the swell tries to show up, that wind kills any chance of a clean face.
For the first week, from Sunday the 2nd right through to Saturday the 9th, it’s a write-off. Swell heights are puny, mostly between 2 ft and 4 ft, with short, weak periods. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits with a 147 (moderate energy) at best. The wind is a constant 12 to 16 mph onshore breeze. There's simply nothing to get excited about.
Moving into the second week, the swell does pick up a bit. From around Sunday the 9th, we start seeing some chest-high waves in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, and by Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, it hits 5 ft. The wave energy climbs, too, hitting a 318 (strong energy) on the 15th. Sounds promising, right? Wrong. The wind stays relentless, blowing 16 to 19 mph onshore, and the period remains short and weak – mostly 5 to 8 seconds. This creates poor surf conditions. Even the biggest swell on the 15th is a messy, onshore mess.
The only tiny whisper of a change is on Friday the 14th, where the wind goes cross-onshore, but it’s still a fresh 19 mph breeze making it lumpy. Not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is running about average for the time of year here.
In all honesty, there is not one single standout window. There is no "best on offer." This is a classic case of a blank run that feels normal for an exposed break when the winds set in. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Right now, the best call is to leave the boards in the van and wait for a change in the weather pattern.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
