The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch for Jameos del Agua. This reef setup is usually pretty exposed, but the wind is just not playing ball. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first recommendation doesn’t come until the 21st of July, and it’s not a pretty one. From the get-go, we’ve got a persistent cross-shore breeze that’s going to chop the surface up something shocking. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s the only thing that’s not a headache.
The first few days are a write-off for a decent paddle. Tuesday the 21st sees a 8ft swell from the NNE, but that 25 mph cross-wind is going to ruin it. The combined energy is moderate at 613, but the quality is just poor. That same story repeats right through the week: Wednesday the 22nd has 6ft of swell, cross-shore wind, and a short 7-second period that just adds to the mess. Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th – all the same tune. The swell does bump up to a solid 10ft on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with energy jumping into the strong range (1084 to 1107), but at that size and with that strong cross-shore wind, you’re looking at a washing machine. That’s expert-only territory, and it’s messy.
There’s a slight drop in wind speed into Tuesday the 28th, with a moderate breeze, but the swell fades to 4ft. The poor conditions just keep rolling. The whole first week is a no-go.
The second week doesn’t offer any redemption. From July 29th right through to August 5th, it’s the same story: short-period NNE swell, cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, and lumpy, messy conditions. The swell hangs around the 5ft to 7ft mark, but the wind never lets up. The energy values are moderate, but without clean wind, it’s all for nothing. The 5th of August sees a peak of 6ft and 422 energy, but it’s still cross-shore.
There is honestly no standout moment in this entire 16-day outlook. The wind is the enemy here, and it’s not backing off. Every single day is marked as poor surf conditions. This stretch is a complete blank for a decent wave. Fetch the kite if you’ve got one, because this setup is far more interesting for a session on a twin tip than a surfboard.
Rusty.
