The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow-burner. We’ve got a solid run of small, clean conditions early on, but the surf quality just isn’t there for the first week. Most of the time it’s labelled as poor or marginal, so don’t get your hopes up too high. There’s a bit of a gap there where you’ll be left waiting for something worthwhile. Things do start to look a bit more promising heading into the second week, but it’s still a bit of a mixed bag.
The standout session, if you can wait for it, looks like Tuesday afternoon, August 11th at Silencios. It’s a reef break, so it handles the swell well. We’re looking at a 6 ft swell from the SSW, with a moderate energy reading (1,399). The period is a solid 14 seconds, so there’s some proper groundswell to work with. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore at 9 mph, which is a bit of a bummer, but it’s not a total write-off. This is an inconsistent spot, and it's only for the intermediate crew, so don't expect a crowded lineup if you're out there. The bigger size (6 ft) might be pushing it for beginners, but it’s good fun for the rest of us.
The other one to keep an eye on is Monday afternoon, August 10th. Silencios will have a 4 ft SSW swell, but with a very long 17-second period and a strong energy reading of 1,291. The wind is light and offshore at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy. That long period means it’ll be a bit more powerful and the sets will be a bit more spaced out, which is a treat for paddling out. The issue is it’s still only a marginal score, so don't expect perfection, but it's the best of the first week.
For the rest of the time, the swell is small, mostly between 2 ft and 4 ft, and the wind is often light and onshore or cross-onshore. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate (between 200 and 900), so there’s not a lot of punch. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but that Tuesday afternoon looks like your best bet.
Rusty.

Information about the Silencios Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Silencios provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Silencios can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Silencios 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 (Silencios) 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 Silencios 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.
