Jaguay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming. We’ve got a pretty quiet stretch ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any big sessions. The only break in the game is Jaguay, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, but the next couple of weeks are mostly a write-off for proper waves. There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendations, so you’ll be waiting a while.

Starting Thursday morning, July 9th, we have a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, with a long 16-second period, so it’s a groundswell, but combined energy is pretty weak at 285. The wind is light offshore from the west, but the surf is marginal at best. Not worth getting wet for.

Friday, July 10th, sees a little bump up to 3ft from the SW, period dropping to 14 seconds. Still weak energy (312) and the wind is cross-onshore in the morning, so it’ll be a bit messy. Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, are even worse, with poor conditions and small, weak swell. The whole first week is a struggle, with nothing really breaking through.

The second week drags on in the same fashion. We’ve got small SW swell, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with periods between 12 and 15 seconds. The energy stays low, never cracking 400. Winds are mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, but nothing that’ll clean it up. The best chance comes on Tuesday, July 21st, in the morning. The swell is only 2ft from the WSW, period 12 seconds, and energy is moderate (235). What makes it interesting is the glassy conditions – wind is dead calm. That’s a major positive, and the forecast even says “expect good surf conditions” for that slot. It’s the only standout in the whole run, but it’s tiny.

Wednesday, July 22nd, has a glassy morning again with a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. After that, it’s back to small, poor surf until the end of the forecast on July 24th, with a 1ft, 17-second groundswell from the west that’s just too weak to do anything.

The water temperature is 67°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, so you’ll be in warm water if you do paddle out.

Honestly, it’s a flat spell. The only real chance is that glassy Tuesday morning, July 21st, at Jaguay, but it’s a beginner-friendly wave and very small. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, leave the board at home.
