The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Jaguay.
The next few days are pretty quiet, honestly. We’re looking at a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions, with very small swell and mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds. The first real standout window doesn’t arrive until the morning of Tuesday, July 28. That’s the first time we see glassy conditions with a little bump in size. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Tuesday, July 28 morning – that’s your best bet early on. Swell is clean, 4 ft from the WSW, with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is 592). Wind is glassy – amazing news – so the surface will be smooth and inviting. This is a sweet window for a beginner-plus spot, with consistent sets and some real glide. It’s an exposed break, so all that energy wraps in nicely. The crowd factor is just “sometimes,” so you might get a few others but nothing chaotic.
After that, we drop back into smaller, less interesting surf for a few days. There’s another potential standout much further out: Monday, August 10 morning. That’s more than a week away, so keep an eye on it. Swell is only 2 ft, but it’s coming from the SW with a very long period of 19 seconds – that’s super long period groundswell. Combined energy reads 502, which is decent for such a small height. With glassy conditions again, it could offer some surprisingly clean, long-lined walls if you time it right. Given the long period, expect longer waits between sets, but the shape should be good on a point or reef setup.
Outside those two windows, there’s not much to get excited about. Plenty of onshore wind and small, weak swell. Conditions look like they might be better for a kite than a paddle on some of those choppier afternoons.
Stay patient, keep the longboard waxed for the glassy mornings, and don’t sleep on that August 10 session if the forecast holds.

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.
Jaguay is 18 km (11 miles) from Chincha Alta. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Chincha Alta. Chincha Alta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
