The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean stretch ahead for Jaguay, and you’ve got to be patient if you want a paddle. The first week is mostly flat or tiny, with the only real window of hope landing at the start of September.
For the next several days, from Saturday the 22nd through to around Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell is mostly tiny – think ankle-snappers in the 0.6ft to 1ft range. The biggest bit of energy comes on Friday the 28th, but even then, it’s just 5ft from the WSW, and the conditions are marginal at best with cross-onshore winds. The combined energy does spike to a moderate 993 on Friday morning, but it’s not doing you any favours with that wind. There’s a long gap of quiet, marginal surf until we get to the standout.
Now, the one true highlight: Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. This is your best bet. We’ve got 2ft of SW swell, but the period is a solid 11 seconds – so there’s some push behind it. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which will give you clean, smooth waves. The combined energy is moderate at 226, and the water temp is a very unusual 67° – that’s about 6° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s like a warm bath. Jaguay is a beginner-plus spot that’s fairly consistent and sometimes has crowds, so you might have a few mates out, but with the small size, it’ll be mellow. The swell direction from the SW is right on the money for this break. It’s small, but glassy and clean – a real gem in an otherwise quiet run.
After that, it drops off again. Wednesday the 2nd is back to tiny 1ft with cross-onshore breeze. Then there’s another pulse from Thursday the 3rd through Friday the 4th, with 4ft to 4ft from the WSW, but again, the wind is onshore, and the conditions are only marginal. Combined energy gets up to 973, but the quality isn’t there. The last few days into the 6th of September are small and onshore again. Not much to write home about.
So, mark your calendar for the 1st of September – early morning glass off, warm water, and a tiny but rideable swell. The rest is for the kite crew or a long walk on the beach.
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.
