The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this next sixteen days is a tough one for Jaguay. The forecasts are showing a long stretch of pretty weak, small surf and mostly poor conditions, so we’re looking at a real dry spell.
Right now, into the start of the period, we’ve got a bit of groundswell from the SW, but it’s already looking messy. The water is sitting at 68° – that’s a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is really unusual. The combined swell energy is hitting 426 (moderate energy) early on Saturday the 5th, but the wind is a cross-on from the west at 9 mph, making it choppy. The report says poor surf conditions, so honestly, don’t get your hopes up.
From Saturday afternoon right through the middle of the month, the swell drops away. We’re talking waves around 2 ft to 3 ft, with periods bouncing between 9 and 16 seconds. The combined energy drops from the 300s down into the 200s (weak to moderate). The wind is mostly light, but it’s either onshore or cross-on, keeping the surface bumpy. The forecasts repeatedly call it poor or marginal. There’s just nothing to get excited about here.
The second week is even more of a struggle. From around the 12th of September onward, the swell stays tiny. By the 17th, the combined energy drops below 100 (weak energy), with waves barely 2 ft. The period is short, around 11 to 12 seconds, and the wind, while light, stays in an unfavourable direction. On the 20th of September, it’s down to 0.7 ft of very long-period swell (18 seconds) but with next to no energy (65). That’s not surfable, it’s a lake.
The only real bright spot – and I’m using that word loosely – is that the break is listed as fairly consistent, so it’s not that it never breaks, just that the quality is poor. Jaguay is a beginner-plus spot, exposed to SW swell, and the optimum direction is SW, so the direction is right, but the size and wind are just not cooperating. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you won’t be fighting for scraps, but that’s because there’s nothing to fight for.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, there are zero standout days. The best call is to wait for a better window.
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.
