The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s run through Jaguay for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a rough one, folks. The water temp is 68°F, which is much warmer than normal – about 6°F above average for this time of year. That’s a weird anomaly, but it won’t fix the waves.
Honestly, the outlook is scarce. The only flicker of anything worthwhile is Monday morning, September 7th. There’s a long-period groundswell from the SW at about 2ft, with a 16-second period. The wind is offshore from the SW at 3 mph, leaving the surface glassy. The combined swell energy is a weak 248. That’s a tiny, knee-high bump that’s only fun if you’ve got a longboard and low expectations. Since it’s a long-period swell, the waves will be clean but very small.
Tuesday the 8th is slightly bigger but the wind switches to a light cross-onshore, messing up the surface. From Wednesday the 9th all the way through to the 22nd of September, it’s a ghost town. Every day is tagged as "poor surf conditions" with onshore or cross-onshore winds and wave energy dropping lower and lower – down to 62 on the 18th. The swell stays under 3ft, but it’s choppy, sloppy, and not worth paddling out for.
There are no standouts. Zero. This run is a total write-off for any decent ride. Given that Jaguay is usually "fairly consistent," this is an unusually long and flat spell. Could it change? Sure, forecasts shift. But right now, this two-week window is one to skip.
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.
