The Lowdown

Righto, grab a cuppa, because we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle at Vagabundo. There’s nothing worth chasing until the 23rd of July, and honestly, even then it’s a tough sell.

The forecast starts with a long, dry spell. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the 22nd, we’ve got tiny, weak swell and a persistent cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is low, sitting around 52 to 94 (weak), and the swell is short-period, around 5 to 7 seconds, meaning it’s messy and gutless. The wind is from the NE and NNE, blowing cross-on, so the surface is choppy and bumpy. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.

Things start to pick up around the 18th when the swell direction shifts to a more favorable NNE, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comments are still “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (260 to 324), but with onshore winds, it’s just a lumpy, unappealing mess.

The first real chance of something rideable might appear on the 23rd of July. The swell bumps up to 7 ft from the NNE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 550 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the period, but the wind is still directly onshore from the N at 16 mph. The wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.” For a beginner spot like Vagabundo, 7 ft with onshore wind is not going to be fun. It’s likely too big for beginners and too messy for anyone else.

The entire 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. The wind is almost always onshore, and the swell is either too small or too wind-affected. Even when the swell gets bigger in the second week, the onshore wind kills it. This is a pretty normal blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing on offer is a consistent onshore breeze.

Hang in there, hey? The ocean might come good later.

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.
