The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at Jaguay for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty bleak for the most part. Jaguay is a beginner-plus wave that’s exposed to the SW, and while we do get pulses of SW swell coming through, the wind and overall conditions just don’t want to line up. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a huge 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but it won’t help the waves.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day stretch is Tuesday morning, August 11th. That morning, we’ve got clean, glassy conditions – glass – with a light 5 mph wind from the WNW. The swell is a small but tidy 2 ft from the SW, with a long period of 15 seconds, giving it some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reading is 240 (moderate), so it’s not a powerhouse, but for a spot like Jaguay, that’s the best you’ll see. The long period means the waves will have shape and line up nicely, but at a beach break it might break a bit straight – still, for a beginner-plus wave, this is a solid window. Expect some crowds as it’s sometimes busy.
After that, it’s a long stretch of poor or marginal conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays small to tiny – mostly 1 ft to 3 ft – with a lot of short-period junk. By Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd, the combined energy drops below 100 (weak), and the swell height falls to 1 ft. That’s barely a ripple. The last few days from the 22nd onward are basically flat or close to it, with energy in the 49 to 95 range.
There’s nothing else that stands out as worth paddling out for. The best advice? Hit that Tuesday morning window if you can, then give it a rest. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a quiet run.

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.
