Majanicho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a decent paddle. There's a big gap of around a week with nothing worth mentioning before things even try to get their act together, and even then, it’s going to be rough.

The only spot on the map is Majanicho. It's a reef and point break, an expert’s wave. It's consistent, but that's about all it has going for it right now. The water is 74°, which is a bit warmer than average for this time of year, but you'll be watching it from the sand.

From the 10th through the 14th, it's just blown-out junk. Swell is a paltry 3 to 4 feet, with a period of 6 to 7 seconds, coming from the N. On top of that, we have an onshore breeze at 15 to 19 mph. The combined energy is moderate but messy, ranging from 109 to 229. This is unsurfable.

The wind backs off a little on the 15th and 16th, but the swell stays small and weak, with periods of only 7 seconds. The energy drops to around 108 to 109. Still nothing.

Now, there's a bit of a pulse from the 17th to the 19th. The period bumps up to 9 seconds, the swell is around 4 feet, and the wind is lighter, 9 to 12 mph. The energy is moderate, up to 266. But it's still onshore. On a reef and point, that's going to make it a bumpy, challenging mess. Might be a few waves for the experts, but that's it.

The 20th has some lighter wind, but the afternoon turns cross-onshore. The 21st, the period drops back to 6 seconds, and we're back to square one. The 22nd sees a bit more size at 5 feet but still with a short, 7-second period.

Then, a long way off, on Saturday the 23rd, we get a bigger swell, 5 feet, with an 8-second period and strong energy at 353. But again, cross-onshore wind chops it up. The 24th afternoon is interesting: a very long 18-second period groundswell rolls in from the NW, but the height is only 2 feet. Energy is 201. The 25th has long periods again, 13-14 seconds from the WNW, but still just 3 feet, with onshore wind.

There is no standout here. Nothing is worth getting excited about. The most promising days, like the 18th, are still poor. This is a blank period. It happens here. The ocean is trying to show some signs of life at the end, but it's too small and the wind is wrong. Keep your hopes up, check back later, but for now, find something else to do.

Rusty, out.
