The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. The next 16 days are looking small and not really putting on much of a show. For most of the window, the swell just isn’t packing the punch you’d want for a proper session. There’s some long-period energy in there now and then, but it’s not combining into anything with real power.
The action kicks off from Sunday the 30th of August, and it’s a pretty flat start. Morning sees a weak 4ft swell from the SW, period around 13 seconds, but with a cross-on breeze and a combined energy of only 370 (moderate). It’s not worth suiting up for. The afternoon is similar with onshore wind. Monday 31st drops a little to 3ft SW, still light onshore, just marginal at best.
The only thing that gets close to a highlight is Thursday the 4th of September. On Friday morning, the swell picks up to 4ft from the WSW, periods of 15 to 16 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 765 (moderate to strong). That’s the best looking energy across the whole forecast. Winds are light and onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the biggest and most energetic of the lot. For a beginner-plus spot like Jaguay, this is the one to aim for. Swell direction from the WSW lines up nicely with the optimum SW for this break.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Crowds can show up here sometimes, so don’t expect solitude.
After that Friday morning peak, the swell fades quickly. By Saturday 5th it’s back to 4ft and weak, and from Sunday 6th onward it’s a long stretch of days with 1ft to 3ft swell, short periods, and poor conditions. Most mornings have a light cross-on breeze making the surface bumpy. The energy barely breaks 200 (weak) for many of those days in the second week. It’s a real flat spell.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Friday the 4th of September at Jaguay. Get in the water then if you can. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game for the next proper pulse.
Rusty.

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.
