The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks. I’ve been staring at the charts for our spot, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The swell is coming, but the wind is just not playing ball at all.
We’re looking at Majanicho, a reef and point setup. This is a wave that loves a clean north swell, but it’s an expert-only zone at the best of times, and it’s almost always a bit of a crowd. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. The wind is hammering from the north or north-northeast, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore, day after day. That means chop, lumps, and generally poor surf conditions. Even though the swell energy is moderate, hitting values between 109 and 222 in the first week, the wind just ruins it. The wave comment for every single session is "poor surf conditions," and I’m not gonna argue with the data.
There’s a bit of a rise in swell energy around August 5th, with the combined energy jumping to 366 and then climbing to over 500 by the 6th. The swell height pushes up to 7 ft, and the period stretches to 8 seconds. But with the wind still screaming from the NE and NNE at 19 mph, it’s going to be a lumpy, messy, cross-onshore nightmare. That’s 7 ft of junk. For a point break like this, that wind is a deal-breaker.
The worst of it might be the 10th and 11th of August. The swell is pumping 6 ft to 7 ft, and the combined energy is a solid 441 to 601, but the wind is up to 25 mph. That’s strong breeze territory, straight onshore. It’s going to be a washing machine. For a beach break or a beach-and-reef setup, you’d be looking at kite surfing conditions, not paddling. This is just dangerous and ugly.
So, what’s the call? Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this 16-day window. It’s a long, frustrating gap of poor surf. If you’re desperate, you could try and find a sheltered nook, but for clean, rippable waves at Majanicho, we’re waiting for the wind to change. Until then, keep your board waxed and your hopes up – it can’t stay this bad forever.
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.
