The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, looking at this forecast, it’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing. The only break in the game here is Vagabundo, and the conditions are just not cooperating. This isn't a spot that's going to be any good for us for the entire 16-day window.

We start from Wednesday the 5th of August, and right off the bat, it’s a no-go. The swell is mainly from the NE, pushing in at 6 ft with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is in the moderate range (303), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, leaving the surface choppy. Same story for Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th – the wind stays onshore or cross-on, and the surf quality is rated as poor. This continues right through the first week and into the second week. The swell hangs around the 5 ft to 7 ft mark, mostly from the NNE, but the period rarely gets above 8 seconds, meaning weak, short-period windswell. The winds are stubbornly from the north or north-northeast, either onshore or cross-onshore, at 9 to 16 mph. There’s no sign of that magic glass-off or offshore breeze we’d be praying for. The water temperature is sitting at 74° with a tiny anomaly of 1°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you’re just going for a swim.

The whole run is a blank. There is not a single day where the conditions line up for a decent surf. With the consistent onshore wind and the short-period lump, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a frustrating outlook, but for this area, when the wind locks in from that NE quarter like this, a blank run is more normal than unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't be waxing up.

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.
