The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Majanicho (reef and point) are pretty much a write-off for surfers. We’re looking at a long dry spell, so I’ll walk you through it.
The forecast kicks off from Wednesday, August 19, and the story is the same day after day: poor surf conditions. The wind is howling from the north and north-northeast, mostly a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s blowing straight onshore. That’s killing any chance of clean waves. The swell is small – mostly between 2 ft and 4 ft through the first week, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, choppy stuff with combined swell energy in the low to moderate range (126 to 223). The water temperature is 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We do see a bit of a bump around Monday, August 24, when the swell picks up to 5 ft to 5 ft from the NNW, with a longer period of 12 to 13 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 685. That’s moderate wave energy, and the direction is a better match for the break. But the wind is still onshore from the north, so it’s going to be messy. The swell keeps building through the end of August and into early September, with heights reaching 7 ft on Friday, August 28, and combined energy hitting 753. That’s moderate to strong energy, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The water temperature anomaly is not given for those days, but the earlier reading suggests it’s a touch warmer than average.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bust for paddle surfing. The wind is relentless, and the swell is either too weak or too short-period to overcome the onshore flow. If you’re a kite surfer, the combination of strong north winds and moderate swell on a beach-and-reef setup might be interesting, but for a surfboard, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast. Sometimes these stretches don’t last, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
