Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window here and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The only spot on the map for this region is Vagabundo, and honestly, the ocean just isn’t cooperating. There’s not a single decent surf day in sight, so we’re looking at a blank run right from the start.
From Thursday the 2nd of July all the way through to Thursday the 17th of July, every morning and afternoon is marked as poor surf conditions. It’s a full two-plus weeks with no real recommendation. The first entry is Thursday afternoon, with a 7 ft swell from the north, but the wind is a moderate 12 mph onshore from the north, and the wave energy is moderate (666). The water temp is 72°F, which is about average for the time of year. But none of it matters because the quality just isn’t there for paddle surfing.
The swell hangs around between 2 ft and 7 ft through the whole period, mostly from the north or north-northeast, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. Periods start at 9 seconds early on, then drop to a short, weak 5 to 7 seconds after the first few days. Wave energy readings dip into the weak two-digit numbers from the 7th onward (like 68, 59, 90), which tells you there’s just no push.
For a beginner-friendly, consistent spot that’s exposed to a north-northwest optimum, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The onshore winds and choppy conditions just aren't doing us any favors. If you’re desperate for a wave, you’d be better off waiting for a change in the forecast – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can shift.
Stay tuned, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
