The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking for Silencios. To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a bit of a grind. We’ve got a long stretch of marginal to poor surf ahead, so if you're looking for a quick fix, you might be waiting a while. The first few days are basically a write-off, with small, weak, and messy conditions. We’re looking at a real gap of over a week before anything remotely decent shows up, so don't hold your breath.
The first spark of life comes on Monday, August 17th. That morning is the standout of the whole window. The swell is still modest at 4.3ft from the southwest, but the magic is in the conditions. Glassy, light winds, and a long 14-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, which this reef break will love. The energy is ramping up, which is moderate, but the quality should be there. This is the one to pencil in. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up. The crowd factor is a real thing here, as it’s inconsistent, so you might get lucky with a few less bodies when it does pulse.
Before that, the 14th and 15th have some pulse in the water, with energy climbing, but the winds are cross-onshore and it’s just not going to be as clean. The swell is there, but the surface will be chopped up. It’s a no-go for me.
The rest of the second week just fades out. By the 21st and 22nd, the energy is pathetic. The swell is tiny and the period is short. It’s a full stop. The water temp is running much warmer than normal at 69.6°, which is a pleasant surprise, but won’t make up for the lack of waves.
So, overall, we’ve got one clear winner here. Monday morning, the 17th. Everything else is a mission in disappointment. It’s a long wait, but that one window could be worth it if you’re keen.

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.
