Jaguay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Jaguay. It’s been a bit of a waiting game, but there’s a little window of fun shaping up next week.

The first few days are pretty average, with only small, often choppy surf on offer. Water temps are still nice and warm though, running a very unusual 4° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, so you'll be comfy in a shorty.

The real action kicks off on Monday morning, the 17th. The wind is due to swing light easterly offshore at just 3 mph, cleaning up a 3 ft SW swell. It won't be massive, but those conditions will make it look a lot better than the numbers suggest. The energy is moderate at 256. This is your quiet standout for the early part of the week.

But the one to circle on the calendar is Tuesday morning, the 18th. This is the pick of the bunch. We've got a clean 5 ft SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds pushing decent energy (734) into the beach. And the kicker? Glassy conditions. Dead flat, offshore wind. That early session is going to be absolutely pristine for a beginner-friendly spot like this. Just be aware the afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze kicking up.

After that, the swell backs right off. From the 19th into the first week of September, it’s mostly small, poor, and onshore. There are a couple of days with small glassy leftovers, like Thursday morning the 20th, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft and the energy is weak. It’s a long, flat run from the 21st all the way through most of the second week, with only tiny waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The combined energy drops right down to the 50-80 range for most of that time. You won’t need your board.

Towards the very end of the outlook, on Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August, there’s a whisper of a building SW swell, getting up to 4 ft with moderate energy (367-411), but the forecast conditions are all onshore wind, leaving it marginal. Not worth getting excited about this far out.

Bottom line: Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning are the only real go-times. Tuesday morning is the standout. The rest is a long dry spell.

Rusty.
