Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Majanicho over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a real dry spell to kick things off.
The first record showing any surf is from the 12th, but don't get your hopes up. There's a small 4ft NW swell coming in, but it's blown out by a stiff north wind at 25 km/h and the period's short at 8 seconds. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°, but that's about the only thing going for it. The wave energy is moderate though, sitting at 182.
From the 13th through to the 26th of July, it's pretty much the same story – onshore or cross-onshore winds from the north or NNE, with swell hanging between 2ft and 6ft but the quality is poor. There are some bigger pulses of energy, like on the 20th when the combined swell energy hits 508, but the wind stays on it and it's short period stuff. The standout period in terms of size is around the 19th to 22nd of July, with swell climbing to 6ft and 6ft, but again, it's messy. For an expert reef and point break like Majanicho, this onshore north wind is just not doing us any favours. The optimum direction here is north, so the angle is fine, but the wind is spoiling it.
There's a slight flicker of hope right at the end of the run, on Monday the 27th of July. We've got a 5ft north swell with a 7-second period, and a very light ENE breeze at just 6 mph making for a light cross-onshore. The combined energy is moderate at 200, and for the first time the conditions are described as "marginal" instead of outright poor. It's not going to be epic, and it's still a short period swell, but it'll be the cleanest wave we see in this whole 16-day window. That's your best bet, but temper your expectations.
So, in short, a long, frustrating gap of poor surf through most of July, with only the last day, the 27th, offering something just about rideable.
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.
