The Lowdown
Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Jaguay are mostly a flat spell. There’s exactly one small window where you might get something rideable, but don’t expect any fireworks.
The first few days are nothing. From Wednesday the 2nd through most of the following week, it’s tiny. The first little bump shows up Thursday the 3rd with a 0.8m to 0.9m SSW swell. The period is big – 18 seconds – so it’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy sits in the moderate range (414 to 528). Winds are light but cross-onshore, so it won’t be glass clean. Water temp is about normal for the time of year. Not a stand-out, just the pick of a lean period.
Friday the 4th is your best shot. The swell builds to 1.2m to 1.3m from the WSW, still with a long period of 15 to 16 seconds. The morning has some clouds and light cross-onshore wind. Wave energy hits 761, the highest of the entire forecast. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might get a few waves without a crowd. For a beginner-plus break, this size is fine for most surfers.
By Saturday the 5th, it’s already dropping. After that, it’s downhill fast. The second week, from the 11th onward, is all poor surf with wave energy under 100 (weak) and periods down to 8 seconds or less – total junk.
So your only real call is Friday the 4th at Jaguay. That 1.3m SW swell with light wind is the standout window. After that, it’s a long dry stretch. I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything else.
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.
