The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid chunk of days with nothing worth paddling out for. Thursday the 10th through Sunday the 13th are all a mess – lumpy, cross-on winds up to 16 mph, and short-period chop around 5 ft to 6 ft. The combined energy sits in the moderate range (227 to 435), but the quality is just poor. Not worth getting wet.
Then we get a bit of a break. Monday the 14th is the one and only true standout in this whole outlook. Head to Vagabundo. Monday morning, the wind goes completely glassy – zero wind, calm as a lake. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (265). Water temperature is 75°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there. That glassy morning window is going to be buttery smooth. By Monday afternoon, it drops to a tiny 2 ft from the NNW but with a nice long period of 12 seconds, and it’s still glassy. That afternoon session will be small but clean, real cruisy.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 15th through to the end of the week is all cross-on breezes and poor surf conditions. The swell stays small and messy, mainly under 3 ft, and the combined energy drops off into the weak range (86 to 201). Not worth chasing.
Looking further out, into the second week, there’s a flicker of hope around Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the NNW with a very long period of 14 seconds, and combined energy jumps back into moderate territory (472). That’s a real groundswell signal, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, so it’s going to be blown out. The 24th and 25th show a similar story – moderate energy (up to 562), but again with onshore or cross-on winds. It’s promising but less certain this far out, and the wind needs to swing offshore for it to really come together.
So, bottom line: your best bet is Monday the 14th at Vagabundo. Get on it early for the glass.
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.
