The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the water for Lanzarote’s north coast, specifically this reef setup at Jameos del Agua. Let’s call a spade a spade right off the bat: this 16-day window looks pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap of nothing worth paddling out for from Tuesday, September 8th, all the way through to the end of the first week. The wind is just a nightmare—fresh cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes ruining any chance of a clean face, lumping it all up. We’re stuck with weak, short-period windswell mostly from the NNE, bouncing between 4 ft and 7 ft but so chopped out it’s not even a contest. The combined energy stays weak to moderate, with values like (350) and (448), just enough to be frustrating.
The only time it looks even remotely worth a look is around the 14th of September, early Monday morning. We finally get a pulse of long-period groundswell from the NNW, 3 ft at 13 seconds, with a light cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at (373), and because this is a reef break, that long period (over 11 seconds) will actually help it hold shape instead of going straight. It’s intermediate-friendly at that size. The water temp anomaly isn’t flagged here, so call it pretty average for the time of year—no weird hot or cold streaks to worry about.
After that, it’s back to a dustbin of junk. The 22nd of September gets interesting on paper with a big, very long-period NNW swell (16 seconds) pushing the combined energy up to (737) and (787), which is strong. But the wind goes straight back on it—fresh cross-shore, lumpy, messy. For a reef, that long period could make the sets hold up and wall, but with that much wind on it, you’re fighting a losing battle. It’s too big for beginners at 4 ft to 5 ft and the conditions are just poor.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, the wind strength and the lumpy swell on these beach-and-reef setups might look tasty around the 11th and 12th of September when we’ve got 6 ft to 7 ft and fresh winds. But for a paddle surfer? The 14th of September morning is the only real shout, and it’s marginal at best. Crowds are listed as "often" here, so if that morning glass-off hits, expect company, but it’s the only game in town.
Stay patient. It won’t stay this bad forever, but for now, the board stays in the car.
