The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up.
Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long gap with very little to get the heart pumping. From now until the morning of September 24th, the wind is a problem. The swell energy is mostly moderate – values between 98 and 600-something – but it’s all blown out. You’ll see onshore winds and poor surf written all over it.
The first pulse of size hits on the 17th and 18th with northerly swell around 5 to 6ft and combined energy getting up to 625. But with north winds at 15-18 mph, it’s just garbage. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” Don’t bother.
On the 21st and 22nd, a 3-3ft NNW groundswell (12-13 seconds) shows up, but with a light cross-onshore wind it’s only *marginal*. You might find a close-out or a makeable little wave if the tide is right, but it’s not worth a special trip.
The clear standout: Thursday morning, September 24th. This is your session. Majanicho (reef and point) will have a clean 3ft of NW swell with a very long period of 13 seconds – that’s real groundswell energy. The wind is light, a 3 mph SSE breeze. That’s a cross-offshore wind, making it clean. The conditions are described as “clean.” Combined energy is 376, which is solid for that size. Now, this is an expert-only spot, and it’s consistent, so it will be breaking. However, 3ft and 13 seconds on a reef point can be tricky – it’ll reel with power but could be a bit straight on the takeoff for anyone not dialed in. Expect crowds, because this spot is *often* packed. The water temp is 74°F, which is normal for the time of year – just a spring suit.
After that, the rest of the window fades. The 25th through the 30th drops back into the 2-3ft range with onshore winds again. The 28th shows 3ft and 466 combined energy, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, ruining it. There’s a *marginal* window on the 29th morning with 4ft NW swell, but a cross-shore breeze doesn't help.
Bottom line: wait for that Thursday, September 24th morning. That’s the only one worth your time.
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.
