The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our little corner of the lineup.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a washout. From Saturday the 18th right through to Sunday the 26th of July, the wind is just honking onshore from the north-northeast or north, blowing 15 to 22 mph. That’s ripping the face off any swell that tries to show up. We’ve got some chest-high swell (4 ft to 6 ft) pushing in, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, blown-out churn. The combined wave energy starts weak-moderate (108) and builds to strong (951) by the 26th, but it doesn’t matter – it’s all junk. The water temp is sitting at 73°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it through the wind spray.
Now, if you’re an expert and you’ve got some patience, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Mark your calendars for Monday the 27th of July. Majanicho (reef and point) – that’s the spot. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell from the northeast, with a 10-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a massive 1643 – that’s some serious grunt, folks. The wind is a moderate breeze from the north, which is actually offshore for this break. The report says it’s “wind and tide favorable,” but it also warns this swell might be too big for this particular break. At 7 ft, this is strictly for the experts. If you’re not confident in the tube, stay on the beach. This is the standout of the whole 16-day window, but it’s a risky one.
After that pulse, the wind stays on it for the rest of the month and into early August. The swell drops back to 4 ft to 5 ft, and the onshores don’t let up. There’s nothing else worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the next nine days are a write-off. The only real chance to get a wave is on Monday the 27th at Majanicho, but only if you’re an expert and you’re ready for a big, powerful, and possibly overwhelming swell. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag.
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.

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.
