The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and degrees.
Let’s get stuck into this one.
The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a nice little window of opportunity if you time it right. The main event is a Thursday morning session early on, with a solid, clean little swell.
Thursday the 23rd of July is the standout. Swing by Jaguay first thing. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the SW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is sitting at a moderate 348. The wind is glassy out of the WNW at 5 km/h, so the surface is going to be clean as a whistle. For a beginner-plus spot, this is pretty much ideal. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises. Just keep in mind the crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
The rest of the first week is a bit of a write-off. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is small and jumbled. The energy drops off, and the conditions are ordinary. Not worth paddling out for.
There’s a slight flicker on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning has the wind going glassy again with a 2ft SW swell, 12-second period, and combined energy of 177. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The waves are there, but they’re not going to light your world on fire. The afternoon goes flat again.
For the rest of the second week, from the 4th to the 7th of August, it’s a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is too small or too weak to generate anything decent. The combined energy for the morning of the 7th is 442, which is moderate, but the wind is onshore and the waves are just not cooperating. It’s a tough run.
Stick with Thursday the 23rd of July for the best chance of a clean, fun session. The rest is a gamble at best.
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.
