The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have an honest look at what's coming our way.
Right, it's a bit of a slow start and a long wait for something decent. The first week and a half looks pretty flat and frustrating. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and marginal conditions through to about the 24th of August. Honestly, there's not much to get excited about here. The water temp is running much warmer than normal for this time of year at 68 °F, which is a big anomaly, but that's little comfort when the waves are barely a whisper.
Now, let's talk about when it might turn. The most promising window I can see is shaping up for the 28th of August, Friday morning. Things start to build again. We've got a solid 3 ft groundswell rolling in from the WSW with a nice long period of 14 seconds (417 combined energy). The wind looks to be light and straight offshore from the SW, which will make for clean, peeling lines at Jaguay. That long period will give those waves some real punch and shape, perfect for a longer board.
Before that, the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August shows a pulse. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, which is a long period groundswell, and the wave energy climbs to 586, moderate to strong. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW, which could clean it up. It's the best of the early stuff, but still only a marginal call.
After the 28th, the swell looks set to fade away again quickly. For the rest of the period, through the 20th and beyond, the surf is either non-existent or blown out with onshore winds. There might be a tiny window for a longboard or a SUP on the 26th, but it's not worth the drive.
So, to wrap it up: if you can wait, the standout is Friday morning, the 28th of August at Jaguay. It's not going to be a blockbuster, but with offshore wind and a proper groundswell, it should offer the best chance of something worthwhile. The rest is a write-off for a good paddle session.
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.
