The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming down the pipeline.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this forecast is a tough one. There’s a big dry spell at the start. We’re looking at a solid week of small, messy waves and onshore wind before anything decent shows up. The first real chance to get a wave comes around Thursday, August 6th.
The only break in the game is Jaguay. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it lights up with a SW swell. The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year, about 69°F.
The one to circle on the calendar is Thursday, August 6th. The morning is your best bet. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW, with a deep 13-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate at 480 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light W breeze, coming cross-on, so it’ll be a little rippled but still clean. The afternoon sees the energy jump to 505 (moderate wave energy), but the wind gets more onshore, so the morning is the session.
Friday, August 7th is another option, with similar 3ft SW swell and a slightly longer 14-second period. Energy is still moderate at 387. Conditions are similar, light cross-on wind, but it’s not as clean as Thursday.
The rest of the period is pretty flat. There’s a tiny window on Sunday, August 2nd in the morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft with a short 10-second period and weak energy of 169 (weak wave energy). It’s rideable, but nothing to get excited about.
Bottom line: Thursday August 6th morning is your only real chance. The rest of the outlook is a bust. Don’t plan your week around it.
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.
