The Lowdown
Alright, let me set the scene for the next 16 days at Jaguay. It’s mostly a quiet stretch, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first recommendations are a long way off. Early on, we’ve got tiny surf – about 0.7ft to 1ft from the WSW, with weak energy (45 to 129) and onshore or cross-onshore wind. Conditions are poor. Just leave the board in the car.
By Friday 28th August, we finally see some life. A 4ft swell from the WSW, with moderate energy (938) and light onshore wind. The period is 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. It’s still marginal and tide might be a factor, but it’s the first real swell. In the afternoon it hits 5ft and energy jumps to 1027. With that long period, the waves might be a bit straight at this beach break, but it’s worth a look if you’re keen.
Through the weekend and into early September, swells stay around 3ft to 5ft from the WSW or SW, periods 12 to 14 seconds. Winds are light but often onshore or cross-onshore. Combined energy ranges from moderate (around 600 to 1000). Still, nothing screams “go now.”
Then we get to Saturday 5th September. Morning brings a 3ft WSW swell with a 14-second period – and glassy wind. That’s clean, smooth, no wind bumps. Energy is moderate (343). It’s not big, but with those clean conditions, this is the best session on offer. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but on a small day it should stay relaxed.
After that, the second week sees similar small swells – 2ft to 4ft, periods 13 to 19 seconds, with light onshore winds. Energy stays moderate (372 to 642). Nothing really stands out. Just more marginal surf.
Water temp is 67°F with a 6°F anomaly – much warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels nice.
So, the play is Saturday 5th September morning – glassy, clean, small but fun. That’s your best bet. Everything else is for the hardcore or the patient.

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.
