The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a grim stretch ahead for Majanicho. This whole 16-day window is a write-off, and we’re looking at a solid run of poor surf with no real standouts to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s slightly positive.
The first recommendation kicks off on Thursday morning, 6th August, but don’t get your hopes up. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east-northeast at a short 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on 16 mph from the north-northeast. That’s a choppy, messy combo with a combined energy of 248 – weak to moderate at best. It’s poor. Friday through Sunday, 7th to 9th August, sees the swell bump up to 4 ft to 5 ft from the north, but the wind stays onshore at 16-19 mph, killing any chance of clean waves. The period is short, 7-9 seconds, so it’s all windslop. Combined energy climbs into the 200-300 range, but it’s all for nothing.
The whole first week and well into the second is a pain. From Monday 10th August all the way through to Wednesday 19th August, it’s the same story: onshore winds from the north or north-northeast at 16-22 mph, small swell mostly between 2 ft and 5 ft, and short periods of 6-7 seconds. The combined energy dips as low as 101 (weak) on the 18th. The setup is a reef and point, but with this wind and chop, it’s more of a headache than a wave. The forecast shows a bit of a pulse on Thursday 20th August with 5 ft from the north at 9 seconds, but the wind is still onshore at 12 mph, and it’s labelled poor surf conditions. The following day, Friday 21st August, offers 5 ft from the north at 8 seconds with a gentler 9 mph onshore wind, but the combined energy is 327 – still moderate, and still poor. Clean? Not a chance.
Honestly, this is a blank run. With no consistency, no clean windows, and the wind ruining every session, there’s nothing here for a paddle surfer. If you’ve got a kite, you might find something in the stronger onshore breezes, but for a regular surfer, save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
