Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vagabundo over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about this one.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a complete bust. Every single session at Vagabundo is showing poor surf conditions. That’s a full stretch from now all the way through to the end of the forecast with nothing worth paddling out for.

The first week is tiny. Swell heights barely touch 4ft on the best morning (Sunday 12th July), and the wave energy is weak to moderate – mostly in the low two digits to mid two hundreds. The wind is onshore, and the swell period is short at 10 seconds, so it won’t shape up at all. Water temp is about 72°, right where it should be for this time of year.

By the second week, the swell builds. By the weekend of 19th–20th July, waves are hitting 8ft to 8ft, and the energy figures climb into the 900–1000 range – that’s strong. But the wind stays from the NE to NNE, onshore or cross-onshore, and the period stays short at 8–9 seconds. It’s going to be messy and choppy, even when the swell gets big enough for experts (over 8ft on the 19th). The quality just isn’t there.

No standout here. For beginners, the swell is either too small or too big, and the wind never cleans up. For experienced surfers, the bigger days are too wind-affected and short-period to be any fun. Honestly, with that constant onshore breeze and building swell, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Don’t write it off completely, though. Forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.

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.
