The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Jameos del Agua. Straight up, it's a tough outlook. This is a reef set-up, and the wind and sea state are just not playing ball for most of the 16-day window.
The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 75° on the first day.
We've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The forecast kicks off on Saturday the 22nd of August, but honestly, it's not worth paddling out. We've got a 4ft north swell with a short, weak 6-second period. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 210, and that cross-shore wind is making a mess of things. Saturday afternoon isn't any better.
Sunday the 23rd shows a glimmer of hope, but it's still marginal. The morning is a bit cleaner with a gentle breeze, but still a cross-shore. The real interest is Sunday afternoon. We see a swell jump to 5ft coming from the NNW with a much longer 14-second period. This is proper groundswell energy, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 926. The wind is still a gentle cross-shore, which will leave some chop on the surface. For a reef break, that long period is good news, but the wind direction isn't perfect. It's the pick of the period, but don't expect perfection.
After that, it's a long, dry spell. From Monday the 24th right through to the end of the forecast on the 6th of September, the conditions are just poor. The wind stays cross-shore and often gets up to a fresh or strong breeze, making for lumpy, messy waves. We see a big pulse of swell around the 28th and 29th of August with faces over 8ft and even hitting 10ft, but the wind is howling at 28 mph and onshore. That's about as unappealing as it gets. Even the smaller 3ft to 5ft days are ruined by the chop.
With the wind and the state of the water, it's looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session for most of this forecast. It's a blank run for the area; sometimes the conditions just don't line up for a decent wave at Jameos. Sorry folks, the surf gods are not smiling on this one for a while.
Rusty.
