The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the surf forecast is a bit of a slow burn. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves and mostly dodgy conditions for the first ten days or so. The good news is there’s a promising pulse of swell trying to push through right at the very end of the window, but we’ll have to wait for it.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday morning, August 15th, at Jaguay. The swell is a clean 3ft from the WSW, with a solid 14 second period – that’s real groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, which is a major bonus. You’ll be looking at clean, lined-up waves, perfect for a beginner plus level break. The water is pumping at 68°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – genuinely unusual, like a warm bath. The combined energy is moderate at 333. It’s a sweet, small morning session. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
From Saturday afternoon onwards, it goes quiet. The wind swings cross-on or onshore, and the swell stays small. For the rest of the first week and all of the second week, through to the 27th of August, there’s basically nothing to get excited about. The swell heights drop to 0.7ft to 2ft, with weak energy readings mostly under 100. The wind is light but onshore or cross-on, giving us poor, choppy conditions. It’s a blank run.
Now, hold on to your board. The outlook changes on Friday, August 28th, way out at the 16-day mark. A new SW swell shows up for Jaguay, pushing 4ft to 5ft with a 14 second period. The combined energy jumps strongly to 894. The wind is light and onshore through the morning, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy, but there’s real power. This is marginal, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole forecast. It’s a promising long-range call, but with that onshore wind, it’s not a guaranteed classic. Still, for the hungry surfer, it’s the only show in town.
Stay patient, crew. The wait might be worth it.

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.
