Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our corner of the world.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, grim stretch of onshore, choppy conditions with hardly a window of clean surf. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°, which is nice for a swim, but not much help for the waves.

Right now, and for the next several days, the wind is a killer. Straight onshore and cross-onshore from the north and north-northeast, blowing 12 to 19 mph, just chopping everything up. The swell is small, mostly around 3 ft to 5 ft, with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is low to moderate, ranging from 86 to 436, but it’s all slop. There’s no point sugar-coating it; this is poor surf, day after day. We’re looking at a gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.

Now, I’ll be honest, there is one morning that catches my eye, but it’s a long way off. On Monday the 14th of September, we finally see a change. The morning looks clean, with a light breeze from the southwest, cross-offshore. The swell drops to 3 ft, but it’s from the north-northwest with a much longer period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is solid at 344. That’s the standout. It’s a reef and point break, and while it’s a consistent spot, this is an expert-only wave. At that size, it’s manageable for the experienced crew, and with that light, clean wind, it could be really good. But don’t get too attached to the idea just yet – this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in. Keep an eye on it. And listen, because it’s a point break, that long period swell will wrap in nicely.

Before that, on Sunday the 13th, there's a tiny pulse, but winds are messy. And after that Monday window, it looks like the onshores return.

So, if you’re patient, circle Monday the 14th on the calendar. That’s the only real chance for a decent session in this whole outlook. Until then, the kites might have some fun, but for a surfer, it’s a waiting game.
