Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Honestly, looking at this 16-day window for Vagabundo, it’s a pretty grim stretch. We’ve got a long run of nothing but "poor surf conditions" lined up, so don’t get your hopes up just yet.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a gap. The first record kicks off Monday, July 13th, but the surf is a write-off from the start. We’re talking about a solid week or more of choppy, messy conditions. The wind is a constant problem, coming from the NE and NNE, blowing cross-onshore or onshore for days on end. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, starting at 167 and dropping to as low as 65, so there’s just no power in the water.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The only time things start to look a little different is around Thursday, July 16th, into the weekend. The swell bumps up to around 5 ft to 7 ft from the NNE with a period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the 300s and 400s (388 to 474), which is moderate wave energy. But here’s the killer – the wind is still on it, 12 to 15 mph from the NNE and N. It’s not clean, it’s not glassy. The break is consistent and exposed to the NNW swell, which is a good match for the direction, but with that wind, it’s going to be a battle. For a beginner, 7 ft is too big, and for anyone else, the chop will make it frustrating.

The only potentially decent-looking window is around Wednesday, July 22nd, into the following weekend. The wind drops to 9 mph from the NNE on the Wednesday morning, with the swell at 5 ft from the NNE, period of 7 seconds. Even then, the energy is low (195) and the wind is on it. Nothing here is a standout.

Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, some of those days with 7 ft swell and strong onshore wind might look interesting. For a paddle surfer? This is a long, blank run. It’s not unusual for this area to have stretches like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the bag.

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.
