The Lowdown
Ah, Vagabundo… I gotta be straight with you – there’s nothing worth paddling out for in the whole 16-day window. From Thursday 23 July right through to Friday 7 August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell’s coming from the NNE, not the ideal NNW direction, and it’s short-period stuff – mostly 7 to 8 seconds – so the waves are weak and choppy. The combined energy runs from 321 up to 802, which is moderate to strong, but with onshore and cross-onshore winds blowing at 12 to 18 mph, it’s a messy, lumpy mess. Swell heights bounce between 3 ft and 8 ft, but with that wind and period, it’s just not surfable. Vagabundo is a consistent break, so it’s a bummer to see it like this. But forecasts can change – it doesn’t stay poor forever. For now, save your energy and stay dry. 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.
