Table - best surf conditions forecast for Majanicho over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight—the next 16 days are a drought for surf. The first few days are dead flat, with tiny, short-period slop blown onshore. The only spot we’ve got is Majanicho, a reef-and-point that’s expert-level and exposed to the north.
Water temp is about 70°F, normal for the season, but the wind’s been a bastard, blowing onshore from the north and north-northeast at 9 to 16 mph. Swell heights are mostly under 3ft, periods of 5 to 8 seconds—garbage. Combined energy is weak, sitting between 34 and 61.
From Tuesday, 8 July through Saturday, 12 July, nothing’s happening. Sunday morning, 12 July, brings a tiny bump to 4ft from the northwest at 9 seconds and energy around 199—still mediocre with onshore wind. Monday, 13 July, offers 3ft from the northwest, 8 seconds, energy 101, but same wind problem.
Into the second week, from Tuesday, 14 July, swell heights hit 5ft to 5ft from the north and north-northeast, periods at 6 to 8 seconds, energy climbing into the 200s by Thursday, 16 July, and peak at 397 on Sunday, 19 July. That’s strong energy, but the wind stays onshore from the north-northeast at 12 to 22 mph, or cross-onshore at times. For an exposed north-facing reef, that wind kills it—choppy and wonky. The swell direction’s close to the optimum north, but the breeze is a killer.
Even the biggest day on Sunday, 19 July with 4ft to 4ft from the northeast at 8 seconds is a no-go—onshore wind, short period, weak lines. This setup might actually be more fun for a kite surfer than a paddler. Crowds are usually likely at Majanicho, but with this quality, you’ll be lonely.
The only glimmer is Friday, 17 July or Saturday, 18 July morning, with 5ft from the north, 7 seconds, and lighter onshore wind—still average. In short, there’s no standout. Keep the board waxed and wait.
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.
