Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks for Majanicho, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us paddle surfers. The waves are showing up, but the wind just won’t cooperate, and it's messing up what could be some fun, clean waves.

Right off the bat, this Saturday the 15th, we’ve got some waist-high swell at 4ft, but that cross-on wind from the NNE at 16 mph is chopping it all up. It’s not good. The energy is weak, around (224), and with that onshore wind, it’s a no-go. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We go through the 16th and 17th with similar stories. The swell drops a bit, but the wind stays onshore from the north. It's just poor surf conditions all across the board. The period is short too, around 7-8 seconds, so it's not like we're getting any real power behind them.

The middle of the week, from the 18th to the 21st, we see the swell shrink down to under 3ft, and the winds stay on it from the north. It's just a flat, choppy mess. This is a stretch where you might want to find something else to do. This is a good two-to-three day gap with absolutely nothing on offer.

Then, towards the 22nd and 23rd, we start to see more life in the ocean. The swell picks back up to 4ft and the energy jumps up into the low 300s (301 on the 22nd) which is moderate. But, the wind is still blowing strong from the north and cross-on, putting a real chop on it. It's frustrating because there’s some push there, but it’s just going to be messy.

The following week, from the 24th onward, the swell hangs in there, but the wind gets even stronger. We're looking at 19-22 mph north winds, which will just be blowing the tops off of everything. On the 27th, we get the biggest swell of the period at 5ft, but with a 19+ mph onshore wind, this is just going to be a blown-out mess. Not worth the paddle out.

The period at the end of the month, the 29th and 30th, is more of the same, with onshore winds and the swell dropping back down. Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, this is going to look amazing, but for a surfer wanting a clean wave, this is a blank run.

There are no real standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. The breaks are consistent, but the conditions are not. It’s one of those spells where the ocean is full of energy but the wind just ruins it. We just have to hope it changes.

Rusty out.
