The Lowdown
Grab your board, but maybe don't get your hopes up too high just yet. The next 16 days are looking pretty quiet for Jaguay. The water is sitting at a warm 68°, which is a solid 7° above the norm for this time of year. That's a pretty big anomaly, so the ocean is feeling noticeably warmer than usual.
We start off with a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are basically flat with poor conditions. There's a glimmer of life from Thursday the 13th through to the morning of Monday the 18th, where we get some marginal surf. The best bet in that window looks like Thursday afternoon the 13th. The swell is coming from the WSW at 3ft, with a long period of 18 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 516. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is a bit of a bummer, but the long period suggests there'll be some shape to those waves. The morning of the 14th is similar with 3ft WSW swell at a 16-second period. After that, it drops off again. We get a slight bump on Sunday the 16th afternoon with a short-period, 4ft SW swell, but it's a short period of 8 seconds and the wind is up, making it choppy and poor.
Following that, from Monday the 18th afternoon right through to the end of the outlook on Wednesday the 26th, it's back to mostly flat, poor conditions. There's a bit of a pulse on the 24th and 25th, but the energy is weak and the surf quality is poor. Honestly, for the foreseeable future, don't expect much. The setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.

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.
