The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Let’s call it like it is: the 16-day forecast for Jaguay is a flat spell with a few tiny flickers of hope. The waves are coming from the southwest, which is the right direction for this spot, but the size just isn't there.
The best window by a long shot is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. We’re looking at a 0.7m (2ft) southwest groundswell with a 13-second period, which gives it some push. The combined energy is a moderate 390, and with a light 10 km/h (6 mph) wind from the WSW, the surface will be glassy. For a beginner-friendly spot like Jaguay, this is the cleanest it will get. Just be aware that it can get crowded when it's good.
That morning is your golden hour. After that, it gets rough. The wind picks up and the swell fades.
From Friday, September 11th, all the way through Friday, September 18th, the forecast is a long string of poor surf. The waves are tiny, the wind is bad, and there’s just nothing to ride. That’s a solid week of no-go.
Your last chance in the outlook is the morning of Saturday, September 19th. It’s a marginal call. We’re talking a tiny 0.4m (1ft) swell, but it’s got a very long 20-second period. The combined energy is a weak 205. The light wind from the west will keep it clean, but that long-period swell is tricky on a beach break – it can be too straight and hard to catch. It’s a last resort.
So, to sum it up: the morning of the 9th is your only real standout. The rest is a long, quiet stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough outlook.
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.
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.
