Howdy, Rusty here. Let me tell you, for Jameos del Agua over the next 16 days, the news ain't good for a paddle surfer. We’ve got energy in the water, but the wind is killing everything. There’s no session I’d point you to.
It starts flat and poor. From Friday the 10th through Tuesday the 14th, it’s all tiny, weak windswell – 0.7ft to 4ft – with short periods and constant cross or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is low, between 28 and 317. Saturday the 11th afternoon shows a clean surface with a lighter NW breeze and a longer 13-second period from the NNW, but the swell is only 0.7ft. Not worth the drive. Water temp is 71°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Then from Wednesday the 15th, the size comes up, but so does the wind. By Thursday the 16th, we’re looking at 7ft to 7ft of NNE swell with a short 7-second period, but there’s a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore breeze ruining it. That pattern sticks. Through to the 20th and 21st of July, we get solid 8ft to 10ft swell with four-digit combined energy numbers (like 1266 on Sunday the 19th morning), but it’s all cross-shore and lumpy. The period stays short (8 to 9 seconds), so it’s just windswell. On a reef like this, with that much wind, you’re better off with a kite. This is kite-surf territory, not for a regular surfer.
The last few days from the 23rd to the 25th keep the size up (7ft to 8ft) but the wind doesn’t let up. No clean windows, no offshore flows.
It’s a long stretch of nothing for us. No good options. But it’s the kind of area where these blank spells happen, and things can turn around quick if the wind shifts.
Rusty.

Information about the Jameos del Agua Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jameos del Agua provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jameos del Agua can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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).
