The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s look at Jaguay’s prospects over the next couple weeks. It’s a slow burn, but there’s one morning that makes the whole wait pay off.
The first week is rough, with poor or marginal surf from Friday afternoon right through Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The water is about 69°F right now, which is much warmer than average—about 7°F above the norm, so you’ll be good in a shorty or even just trunks.
The real window opens on Tuesday, July 28th in the morning. That’s the standout. Swell runs about 4ft from the WSW with a 15-second period—proper long-period groundswell that’ll bring clean, lined-up waves to Jaguay. The combined energy is 592 (moderate), and the wind is glassy. That means smooth, clean faces and easy paddling. The wind is out of the SW, which is the ideal direction for this setup. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so plan to be early. This is the one.
After Tuesday morning, it slides back into marginal or poor shape through the end of the week and into early August. Swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, periods shorten, and combined energy ranges from 126 to 323—weak to moderate. Winds are either on or cross-on, and the quality just isn’t there. The second week offers little: a few mornings on August 2nd, 3rd, and 7th with 3ft to 3ft of SW swell and onshore breezes, but nothing more than marginal.
Over the full 16 days, the only real gem is Tuesday, July 28th morning at Jaguay—glassy, long-period, and perfectly angled. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
