The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Jameos del Agua in the next couple weeks.
Truth is, the first week is mostly a write-off. We got a run of cross-shore winds – some fresh, some strong – and lumpy, chop-topped surf. The swell runs from 2.0m down to 1.0m but with short periods and messy wind, it’s just not fun. From Saturday the 12th all the way through Friday the 18th, you’re fighting cross-chop. Not worth the paddle. Saturday the 19th is similar: 2–1.7m of N swell, still cross-shore. Nothing to get excited about.
Sunday the 20th changes things. Morning glass-off – barely a breath of wind – and 1.3m of N swell, 8-second period. Water temp is 24°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year. In the afternoon the wind drops to absolute *calm*, glassy, with 1.2m of N swell. Combined energy is moderate (375 and 291), but the conditions are pristine. That’s your first real window.
Monday the 21st has a special afternoon session. A very long-period groundswell from the NNW at 17 seconds, combined energy jumps to 696 (strong), and it’s glassy. Only 0.9m, but with that kind of period the reef will focus it into clean, lined-up waves. This is a proper groundswell – best for the reef here.
After that, Tuesday the 22nd brings 1.5m of NNW swell at 13–14 seconds, combined energy in the 840–870 range (strong), but cross-on winds chop it up. Wednesday and Thursday are similar – messy cross-shore or cross-on. The size drops below 1m by the end of the week.
So the standout call is Sunday 20th – that’s your all-day glass and clean fun. Monday 21st afternoon is for the connoisseurs: small but with serious push from that groundswell.
Crowds are a real possibility at Jameos del Agua, especially on a clear Sunday with glassy conditions. Be ready to share.
That’s the long and short of it.
