The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Honestly, it’s a pretty tough stretch for Jaguay. For the next ten days, the surf is small, weak, and mostly messy. The waves are running undersized, with the combined swell energy mostly under 200 (weak to moderate at best), and the wind is cross-on or onshore most of the time. That makes for choppy, poor quality surf. There’s nothing worth paddling out for in that first week and a half.
The only real glimmer comes right at the tail end of the forecast window. On Friday the 25th of September, we finally see a jump. Swell pushes up to around 3ft to 4ft from the WSW, with a period around 13–14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, longer period which means more energy and better shape. The combined swell energy hits 447 (moderate to strong) on the morning of the 25th, and 409 in the afternoon. Conditions are listed as marginal, but with light onshore breeze and about average water temperature for the time of year, it’s the best on offer. The swell direction (WSW) is coming from the optimum for Jaguay (SW), so it’ll wrap in nicely. This spot is fairly consistent and exposed, so it should pick up that energy. Keep in mind, with the swell around 3ft, it’s fine for most surfers. Just know that crowds are possible here.
Before that, Sunday the 27th of September has a morning with light onshore wind and 3ft WSW swell, but energy drops back to 198, so it’s still only marginal.
The first two weeks are a write-off – a long, quiet gap with hardly a wave worth chasing. But that Friday the 25th is the standout. It’s a gamble this far out, but the signs are promising for a fun session at Jaguay.
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.
