The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are a total write-off for Cartagena - Jetty. There’s no swell to speak of. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0) for the entire forecast period. That means not a single wave is expected to roll in. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too unusual, just a touch warm.
From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 12th of August, you’re looking at a solid gap of over two weeks with absolutely no surf recommendations. It’s a blank run. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and when it’s this flat, there’s nothing to do but wait. The winds are often glassy or light offshore in the mornings, which would be a dream if there were any waves, but with no swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake out there.
On the plus side, the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. But for now, leave the boards at home and maybe go for a swim.

A general guide to surfing at Cartagena - Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Cartagena - Jetty 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.
