The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about what's happening at Jaguay. This is a tough run of forecasts, and I gotta tell you, there's not a single day in this entire 16-day window where I'd paddle out with a smile on my face. The swell is just too small and weak to get anything going, and the wind always seems to mess it up.
Right now, on Tuesday the 15th, we've got a tiny 2ft swell coming from the WSW, which is a long-period 15 second groundswell. That long period would be great if there was any size, but there isn't. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it choppy. The combined wave energy is only 226 - moderate, but it's all wind and no push.
Through the rest of September, from the 16th right through to the 29th, it's the same story. Day after day, we're looking at knee-high waves, between 1.0ft and 2ft, with the combined energy dropping as low as 58 which is weak to very weak. The water temperature is sitting around 68°, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s very unusual, but with no waves, it doesn't matter much. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore every day, ruining what little shape the swell tries to create. The swell direction is always SW or WSW, which is fine, but the wave height is just not there.
Even into late September and the 30th, when the swell bumps up to just 3ft, the period drops to 10 seconds and the wind stays onshore, so it’s a mess. Honestly, the only thing that looks interesting in the whole forecast is maybe the 25th, where we get a 3ft swell and 255 combined energy, but it's still crossed-up and marginal. This set-up looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There are no standouts. This is a blank run, and for an area like this, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now? Don't waste the gas.
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.
