The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
Honestly, it’s a rough start for Jameos del Agua. For the first two weeks of the outlook, the wind is just relentless – almost always coming from the north or north-northeast, blowing 15 to 25 mph, and it’s either cross or cross-onshore the whole time. That means the surface is going to be messy, lumpy, and cross-chop city. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 73°F, which is nice, but you won’t be enjoying it.
From Monday 3rd August right through to Saturday 15th August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is there, don’t get me wrong – it builds from around 5ft to 8ft – but with that wind, it’s just no good. The combined energy hits moderate to strong levels, but it’s all wasted. Even a big jump on the 15th where the swell hits 10ft, the wind is still cross and fresh, so it’s only for experts and still looks rough.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday 16th August. The wind finally drops and goes cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph. The morning session shows clean faces and a 7ft swell from the NNE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Monday 17th August also looks promising with a similar setup – cross-off wind, 6ft swell from the north, and clean conditions both morning and afternoon. The combined energy picks up a bit. This is your window.
If you’re looking for the best on offer, aim for the morning of Sunday 16th or Monday 17th August. The wind is cross-off, the swell is around 6ft to 7ft from the NNE, and it’s the cleanest it’s going to get. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, but at least the waves will be shaped. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.
From Tuesday 18th, it drops back into cross-shore wind and poor conditions again. The swell fades to 5ft. So, it’s a long wait, but that Sunday and Monday are the ones to save your energy for.
Rusty.
