The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee and let's take a look at what's cookin' for Jaguay over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a real slow period ahead. We're looking at a long stretch, starting now on the 12th of September, with barely a whisper of proper surf. The good news is, for a spot that's fairly consistent, a flat spell like this doesn't usually hang around forever. The water itself is sitting at a very unusual 68°, which is a good 7° warmer than it should be for this time of year, so you won't need the 5/4 for a while.
Right through to the morning of the 22nd of September, it's all small, weak, and mostly messy. Swell heights are hovering around 1 to 3 ft, and the combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting in the double digits (58 to 281). The period bounces around, but it's generally from the WSW and SW, with some long-period stuff coming in around 17-18 seconds on the 14th, which would be way too clean and straight for a beach setup like this, even if there was any size. The wind, unfortunately, is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. It's honestly not looking good for a paddle.
Now, there is one tiny standout, and I mean *tiny*. On the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September, something shifts. The wind goes glassy, absolutely still, which is a dream. The swell drops to a tiny 1 ft from the SW, with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of just 84, so it's weak. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which I'll take as a glimmer of hope. If you've got a log or a longboard, that early morning session might just give you a couple of clean, little ankle-slappers. Be aware though, this spot can draw a crowd sometimes.
Beyond that, the rest of the window through the 27th remains a write-off with poor surf and onshore winds. Don't hold your breath for any big, clean swell this time around.
Stay loose.

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.
