The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one to swallow. We’ve got a solid 16-day window of surf potential, but the conditions are fighting us every step of the way. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re scratching around.
The main issue is that for the entire stretch, from Wednesday the 12th right through to Thursday the 27th of August, the wave quality is just poor. The wave energy is there, bumping along from a weak 141 up to a moderate 472, but it’s coming from the north, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That combo is just trashing the surface. The swell period is short, mostly 5 to 10 seconds, so there’s not much power or shape behind it. For a reef and point break like Majanicho that’s exposed to the north and works best with a north swell, it’s frustrating to see the wind so wrong.
If you’re desperate, the best of a bad bunch might be the mornings around the 23rd and 24th of August. On Sunday the 23rd, we’ve got a solid 5ft north swell, with a period bumping up to 10 seconds, and the wave energy hits a moderate 472. The wind is onshore, but it’s only a moderate breeze at 12 mph, which is about as clean as it’s going to get. Monday the 24th is similar, with 5ft north swell and a gentle breeze in the morning. Still, the “poor surf conditions” label hangs over everything. This is strictly for the keen, experienced surfers who are happy to take what’s on offer. The short period and onshore wind make it hard work, and the waves are going to be sloppy. For the rest of the time, you’re looking at choppy, weak lines that are more frustration than fun.
Summing it up: there’s swell, but the wind is the enemy. The standouts are Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th of August, mornings, at Majanicho. It’s the closest we get to something rideable. Don’t expect perfection, but if you need a paddle, that’s your window.

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.
