Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The forecast for Majanicho over the next couple of weeks is looking pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore northerly winds that are going to chop up whatever swell tries to push through. It’s not a total write-off, there are a couple of windows that could offer something, but you’re going to have to be patient and pick your moments.

We’re looking at a real dry spell to start. The next several days are basically a waste of time. The wind is howling from the north, and the swell is short-period and weak. The energy is all over the shop as well, just not enough push to make anything of it. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice while you’re sitting there wondering why you bothered.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, September 21st. It’s not big, only around 2ft, but for the first time in a while, the morning looks glassy with barely any wind. That could be worth a paddle on the longboard, but it’s marginal at best. The energy is still weak, so you’ll be working for every wave.

Then the wind swings back onshore and it’s back to square one.

The next potential interest pops up on Tuesday, September 22nd. There’s a bit more size, around 3ft, and the period stretches out to 9 seconds, but the wind is light cross-onshore. It might be a little bumpy, but it’s still a “maybe” at best. The energy, while moderate, is not exactly inspiring.

Things get a bit more serious on Wednesday, September 23rd. The swell jumps up to 5ft with a 12-second period, which means there’s some proper groundswell pushing in. The combined energy is strong, reading 636. The problem is the wind is straight onshore. That’s going to chop it up into a messy, lumpy closeout. Not going to be a whole lot of fun unless you really like getting worked.

The weekend is a letdown again after that, with the swell dropping and the north wind coming back. By Saturday the 26th, we’re back down to 1ft to 2ft with a strong north breeze.

Honestly, there are no standouts here. The only time that might be worth a look is that glassy morning on the 21st, and even then, it’s small. The rest is onshore junk. Keep your expectations low this week and next.

Rusty.
