The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening down at Jaguay over the next couple of weeks. It ain’t pretty for a while, that’s for sure. We got a slow start, a couple of little bumps, and a distant maybe. But let’s break it down.
First couple of days are dead flat. Tuesday and Wednesday are all tiny dribble with weak energy. The water’s at a balmy 67°, which is a good 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. So, it’ll be a nice warm float, but there’s no wave to ride.
Then on Thursday the 28th, we finally see something. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WSW, with a long 16-second period. And the energy really kicks in, hitting that 926 mark. It’s a glimmer of hope, but the wind is cross-on and it’s still just a marginal day. The afternoon sees it push to 5ft, but it’s still onshore. This is the first time you’d even consider paddling out. The long period should give it some shape, but it’s not going to be perfect.
Friday the 29th keeps similar size at 4ft, but the wind is on it, making things a bit messy. Then the weekend goes flat again. Saturday and Sunday drop back to 4ft and 3ft, and the energy fades. It’s another write-off.
The first half of next week is more of the same. Small pulses, weak energy, nothing special. The swell stays in the WSW, periods are all over the place, but the size isn’t there.
Now, looking a bit further out, we get another tease. Thursday the 4th and Friday the 5th of September. Swell comes back up to 4ft, and the energy climbs to 699. The period gets back up to 15 seconds, which is a good sign. The wind is light and cross-on, so there’s a chance for cleaner conditions. But this is a week and a half away, so don’t book the day off work just yet.
So, there you have it. Jaguay is in a pretty sleepy mood. There are two potential windows – the 28th and the 4th – where a few decent waves might show up for those willing to wait. The rest is small and quiet. The break is pretty consistent, so it shouldn't stay this poor for long. But for now, it’s all about patience.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Jaguay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaguay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaguay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaguay 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 (Jaguay) 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 Jaguay 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.
