The Lowdown
Alright, surf is gonna be quiet for a while. The finder’s showing nothing for the next stretch, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. We’re looking at a blank run for at least a week, maybe more. It happens. But don’t stress; the swell window’s got some life in it further out.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show until Monday the 24th, and even then it’s not a pretty sight. Majanicho picks up a 5ft northerly swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and fresh at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth the paddle. The energy’s still building though, hitting 362 in the combined energy. That’s moderate, but the wind’s just ruining it.
After that, the wind stays on it from the north-northeast, blowing 19 mph through the 25th and into the 26th, with the swell dropping slightly to 5ft and the period dropping to a weak 7 seconds. That’s just chopped-up, short-period junk. The energy stays in the low 200s, but it’s all for nothing.
We get a bit of a breather on Saturday the 30th, when the swell drops to 3ft but the period stretches out to 10 seconds and direction shifts to the NNW. Still, the wind is cranking at 19 mph, so forget clean conditions. It’s onshore and messy.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there’s not a single day that looks surfable. The winds are too strong, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell never lines up with what Majanicho wants. The setup here is a reef and point break, exposed to the north, and it needs some love from the wind gods. With this persistent northerly wind, it’s going to be blown out. Unless you’re into kite surfing, because this is looking more like a kiteboarding forecast than a surfing one.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a flat spell. The energy is there in the water, but the surface conditions are just filthy. Keep the board in the car and wait for the wind to back off. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.
