The Lowdown

Alright, I've looked at the charts and my gut is telling me this is a waiting game. We've got one standout window, but the rest of the 16 days is a bit of a flat spell, especially for the first week.

For Jaguay, the best bet is coming up on Tuesday the 18th of August. That morning, we're looking at clean, glassy conditions with a light 3.1 mph southerly breeze. The swell is a solid 4.9 ft from the southwest with a 13-second period – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 734, so there's some real push behind it. Just keep in mind, that long-period SW swell will wrap in nicely here, but it can make things a bit too straight at certain beach breaks. Water temps are a balmy 67.5°, which is 6.3° warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water is feeling more like a warm bath than the typical cool Pacific. Tuesday afternoon, however, the wind swings cross-on and the quality drops out.

After that Tuesday morning window, we hit a long stretch of poor conditions. From Wednesday the 19th all the way through Thursday the 27th, the surf is tiny – mostly under 1.6 ft – and while winds are often light, the swell just isn't there. You'll see some small bumps from the 26th onward, with energy creeping up (102 to 248), but it's not worth paddling out for.

Now, looking into the end of the month and the start of September, we get another pulse. From Friday the 28th of August, the swell really starts to kick again. By Friday afternoon, we're looking at a 5.2 ft WSW swell with a 17-second period, pumping out an energy reading of 1199. That's a strong, powerful groundswell. The wind stays light and onshore, but that's better than cross-shore. Saturday the 29th is similar, with 4.9-5.2 ft waves, again with a long 15-second period. This is definitely a run for experienced surfers; at over 4.9 ft, it's pushing it for beginners. The combined energy readings for those two days are in the four-digit range (1074–1199), which is serious wave energy for this spot. The only caveat is the long period; it'll be best on a point or reef setup, as it might close out on a straight beach.

That run of energy fades a bit into Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st, but there's still some waist-high swell around. The real next notable thing is Wednesday the 2nd of September: another long-period swell, 2.6 ft from the WSW with a massive 18-second period and energy of 553. The wind stays light and onshore. Again, that's a very long period, so it's likely a bit tricky and walled up, but there's plenty of water moving.

Overall, if you're in the area, circle Tuesday the 18th and that final weekend of August through the first couple of days of September. The long stretch in the middle is a write-off.

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.
