Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got coming.
To be straight with you, it's a rough outlook. We've got a 16-day window with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. There’s no real surf on offer. The first day we see any energy is Sunday, July 5th, but every single reading from then on is flagged as poor surf conditions. The wind is a killer – it's almost always onshore or cross-onshore from the N or NNE, blowing anywhere from 9 to 16 mph, which is going to trash the surface.
The only spot on the list is Vagabundo, a consistent break for beginners, open to a NNW swell. There are a couple of pulses in the swell height, like Tuesday, July 14th, when it hits 5ft from the NNE, and Monday, July 20th, with another 5ft from the NNE but with a longer 9-second period. The energy figures back that up too, hitting the moderate range. But it doesn't matter one bit – the wind is always wrong. You’re looking at onshore and cross-onshore wind in almost every session, so it's going to be choppy and messy.
No standouts here, I'm afraid. This is just one of those flat, blown-out runs that the area gets. It’s not unusual for things to go quiet like this. Don't bother suiting up for a while. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Keep the wax dry.
Rusty.

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