The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. We’ve got a full 16 days on the books, but the first chunk is a real snoozer. The problem is persistent northerly winds blowing straight onshore, churning up the ocean. Couple that with short, weak windswell, and you’re looking at a long stretch of garbage surf.
The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until August 15th – that’s a Saturday. From the 8th through the 14th, it’s a desert. Swell is tiny, mostly 3 to 4 ft, with periods of 6-8 seconds, and the wind never lets up. It’s going to be choppy, lumpy, and just plain ugly. The water temp is 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you’re getting frustrated.
The only standout – and I mean the only one – is Majanicho (reef and point) on the 15th of August. That Saturday morning, we finally see a pulse of energy. The swell hits 5 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 311 (moderate). That’s the most juice we see in the whole run. The wind is still a cross-on from the NNE, so it’s not glassy, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon cleans up a bit with the wind shifting onshore, but the morning is your window. This is an expert-only spot, and at that size with a short period, it’s going to be fast and heavy. Expect crowds – it’s likely to be busy.
After the 15th, it fades fast. The 16th and 17th still have some waist-high waves (4-5 ft), but the energy drops, and the wind stays onshore. By the 18th, we’re back to 4 ft and fading. The second week – from the 19th to the 23rd – is a slow slide to flat. Swell drops to 3 ft or less, period stretches to 8-9 seconds, but the energy is weak (under 200). Wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf is just limp. Not worth the effort.
So, bottom line: one long wait for one decent day. If you’re an expert and can handle some wind, August 15th at Majanicho is your only real play. For everyone else, it’s a good time to check your fins and wait for better news.
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. If you surf the same spot (Majanicho) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
