Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jaguay over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got.
It’s a slow start for Jaguay. The first week is mostly small and marginal. The first recommendation is Saturday, August 8th, with waves a tiny 2ft from the SW, 13-second period, and combined energy at 182 (moderate). The wind is on it. The water is a notable 68°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual.
The brighter spot early on is Tuesday morning, August 11th. You’ve got a clean 2ft SW swell, 15-second period (long period groundswell), combined energy at 236 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive. For a break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to SW, this is your best bet in the first week. The water is still much warmer than normal.
The real highlight comes on Sunday, August 16th. The morning shows a 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period and combined energy hitting 554 (strong). The wind is glassy again. That’s a solid, clean setup. It’s got some size, still manageable for most, and the long period will give it some punch. Definitely the best on offer for the whole 16 days.
After that, the energy drops hard. From around Thursday, August 20th, through the end, the surf fades out. The combined energy dips to as low as 59 (weak) on the 21st, and the waves are under 2ft. It’s a quiet end to the forecast.
The standout: Tuesday morning, August 11th, for the glassy conditions and clean 2ft SW groundswell. The real standout: Sunday morning, August 16th, for the bigger 4ft SW swell and glassy conditions.
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.
