Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Vagabundo over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch looks grim for paddle surfing. The whole 16-day run is painted with "poor surf conditions," and there's not a single decent window to get excited about.

The water temp is sitting at about 72.1°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that's about the only thing that's normal.

The first real stand-out in size kicks off around Sunday, July 19th, but don't get your hopes up. That morning we're lookin' at a 6.9ft swell from the NNE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a hefty 505 (moderate to strong). By the afternoon, it bumps up to 583 energy. That's proper size, over 6.5ft, so this is expert-only territory. Problem is, the wind is howling onshore from the NNE at 12 to 16 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out wall. Not what we want.

Earlier, on Saturday, July 18th, the swell sits around 5.9ft from the NNE with a 7-second period, and energy readings between 292 and 335 (moderate). But again, that onshore-cross wind from the NNE at 12 mph makes it choppy and ugly. It's a beach or beach-and-reef setup, and with that onshore wind and decent size, this place is lookin' way more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle session.

Friday, July 17th shows a 5.2ft swell from the NNE, period of just 6 seconds, and energy around 174-188 (moderate). That's too small and short-period to be any good, especially with the wind being cross-onshore. Choppy and weak.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, from July 5th to the 15th, the swell is tiny – anywhere from 2.0ft to 3.6ft – and the periods are short, mostly 5 to 9 seconds. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, and the energy readings are mainly in the double-digit weak range. It's a blank run for any kind of quality.

Vagabundo is usually a consistent, exposed spot that loves a good NNW swell, but the forecasted NNE direction is off its game, and the wind is killing whatever small chance there is. It’s set to stay poor for the whole outlook. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s nothing here for a surfer.

Stay patient, gang.

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.

Vagabundo is 5 km (3 miles) from Galdar. If you plan a holiday in Gran Canaria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Galdar. Galdar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
