The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off in a quiet patch. From Sunday the 23rd through Thursday the 27th of August, the surf is flat and weak, with no real energy to speak of. That’s a solid five-day gap of nothing worth paddling for.
Things finally turn the corner on Friday the 28th of August. Jaguay (Peru) lights up with a solid southwest groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 929 on Friday morning, with a 1.3m swell from the WSW, and a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell with real push. The wind is light onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s clean enough. By Friday afternoon, the swell peaks at 1.5m and the energy hits 1014. This is a bit too big for a beginner, but for a solid intermediate, it’s the best window of the whole forecast.
The standout is clearly Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August. The swell direction is a good match for the spot’s preferred SW, and the long period means the waves will have shape and power. The water is running at 67°F, which is a big anomaly of 6°F warmer than usual, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty. Crowds are only possible here, so you might get some space.
After Saturday, the swell drops off slowly through the first week of September, staying in the 3ft to 4ft range, with periods falling to 12–14 seconds. Still some fun, rideable waves, but nothing that matches that late August pulse. By the 7th of September, it’s fading out again.
So, the call is simple: Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August. That’s your window. The rest is a slow fade.
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.
