The Lowdown

Alright, let me break it down for you. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for you.

Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 10 to 11 days of pretty ugly conditions. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to the end of the month, the wind is just howling out of the north-northeast, and it’s onshore or cross-onshore nearly the whole time. The swell is there, bouncing between 5ft and 8ft, but it’s short-period, messy, and the combined energy is moderate (between 200 and 735). The report is calling it “poor” every single day, and I’m not arguing. It’s just not worth paddling out.

Then we get into the first week of August, and it’s still a slog. The wind finally eases on Sunday the 2nd, but the swell drops to 4ft to 5ft, and the energy is still weak (around 300). Still not good.

Here’s the one real glimmer – and it’s a long way out so keep your fingers crossed. On Monday, the 3rd of August, things line up. We’ve got a clean little 3ft swell out of the NNW, but the real story is the wind. It goes glassy in the morning. Dead calm. That’s a massive positive. The period picks up to 10 seconds, which is solid, and the combined energy is moderate (352). The report even says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s our best shot. Later that afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the north with a 12-second period, giving it a bit more push (energy 523), but the wind swings onshore, so it’s not as clean.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The wind stays cross-onshore through the 4th, 5th, and 6th, with weak, short-period swell. The 7th of August shows a little more size in the swell, 5ft, but the wind is still onshore and the period is short. It’s not happening.

Bottom line: For the first 10 days, don’t even bother. The only standout is that Monday morning, the 3rd of August, at Vagabundo. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and with glassy conditions and a clean 3ft NW groundswell, it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a funboard. Because it’s a consistent spot and crowds are only “sometimes,” you might get lucky and have it to yourself. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Everything else is a write-off.

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.

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.
