The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Vagabundo over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a blank run here, not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The whole period is marked by "poor surf conditions" across the board, so don't be holding your breath for any kind of session.

The issue is a persistent, strong wind from the NNE that just won't let up. It’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore pretty much the entire time, trashing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is coming from the same direction as the wind, which is a recipe for messy, choppy, and lumpy surf. The combined energy of the swell is moderate at best, hitting a peak of 735 (moderate wave energy) on the afternoon of July 25th, but it's completely wasted by the wind. The swell height does get up to 8 ft on July 25th, but with that wind, it's just a churning mess, not a wave you want to be in.

The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year, so that's one small mercy. But that's where the good news ends.

For a beginner spot like this, we need clean, small to moderate waves, and we're getting the opposite – strong, messy winds and a wind-swell combo that's just ugly. The wind readings are consistently in the 12 to 19 mph range, which is a "fresh breeze" to "moderate breeze," and it's always either onshore or cross-onshore. There's a hint of a longer period swell (11 seconds) showing up on August 5th, but it's tiny (3 ft) and still cross-onshore.

Look, there are no highlights here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for paddling into anything worthwhile. If you're a kitesurfer, this onshore wind and lumpy water might look interesting, but for a surfboard? Forget it. This kind of blank run isn't too unusual for the area when the trades get locked in like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
