The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve had a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a bit of a rough stretch for us. The only break on the cards is Vagabundo, and the ju ju is all wrong. We’ve got constant onshore winds and a messy, crumbly ocean that just won’t clean up. There’s a real gap here with no good surf on offer at all for the entire 16-day window.

Right from Sunday morning, the 19th of July, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a NNE wind at 16 mph, just cross-on and choppy. The swell is around 6 ft but coming from the NNE with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is only 262 (weak), and the wave comment says it all – "poor surf conditions." That vibe doesn’t let up. Through Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, the wind stays on it, the swell gets a bit bigger (up to 7 ft), but it’s still that short, junky period (7-8 seconds) and the energy ticks up to moderate (409-436), but the quality is still garbage.

Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th, the swell hangs around 6 ft to 7 ft, all NNE, with winds still hammering onshore at 16 mph. Energy gets into the moderate range (339-523), but it’s all wind-affected mess. The onshore wind is relentless.

Then we hit the weekend of Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July, and the swell really starts to pump. Saturday afternoon we’ve got 8 ft from the NNE, and Sunday morning hits 10 ft – that’s big, expert-only territory. The period stretches to 9 seconds, and the energy on Sunday afternoon is a whopping 1335 (strong to very strong). But – and it’s a big but – the wind is still howling onshore at 16 to 19 mph. It’s just a washing machine out there. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The swell stays up through the 27th and 28th (8 ft to 10 ft, NNE), with energy over 1000, but the wind doesn’t let up. It’s a proper grind. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama, but you’d be fighting a losing battle.

Into the final week of July and the start of August, the swell slowly backs off. By the 30th and 31st, we’re seeing a longer period of 10 seconds, which is usually a good sign, but the wind is still on it. The energy stays moderate to strong (469-1004), but the constant NNE wind ruins any chance of a clean face. On the 1st and 2nd of August, the swell drops to 5 ft to 5 ft, and the wind finally shifts to cross-on, but it’s still a moderate breeze and choppy. The energy drops back to weak-to-moderate (355-541).

So, the bottom line? There isn’t a single standout in this whole 16-day window. The conditions are just persistently poor. If you’re desperate and the wind miraculously drops for an hour, look for a sheltered spot, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.

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.
