The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a dud forecast for Vagabundo over the next 16 days – from July 19 right through to August 3 there isn’t a single good surf option on offer. The swell is there, consistent pulses, but every session is written off as poor surf conditions. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore most of the time – moderate breeze from the NNE or N – and that’s straight against the optimum NNW direction for this break. Swell heights range from 4ft up to 8ft, but the periods are short, mostly 7–8 seconds, so the waves are choppy and weak. The combined wave energy climbs from 262 up to 1700, which is strong, but without clean wind it’s just messy. Water temperature sits at 73°F, about average for the time of year. Vagabundo is a consistent, beginner-friendly spot, so this kind of run can’t hold forever – forecasts shift, and a change in wind or a better swell angle could turn things around. For now, I’d say leave the board in the car and wait for a better window. 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.
