Jameos del Agua Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—looking at the next couple of weeks, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about on this stretch of coast. The swell rolls in from the north and northeast, but the wind’s going to be working against us for most of the run, and the surface is going to be chopped up more often than not. We’ve got a long, quiet patch ahead, so pick your moments carefully.

Tuesday, September 1 starts things off with a bit of size on the push—around 6.9ft to 7.2ft from the northeast—but the NNE wind is howling at 22 to 25 mph, and the whole water’s lumpy with cross-chop. That’s a mess, not a surf. The energy’s reading moderate at 483–580, but it doesn’t matter when it’s that blown out.

Wednesday, September 2 is much the same story: 7.9ft from the northeast in the morning, dropping to 7.2ft by the afternoon, but that cross-shore wind keeps things messy. There’s nothing rideable here yet. The water’s around 74.5°, which is about a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—a little blessing, but not one you’ll enjoy if you’re fighting chop.

Thursday, September 3 sees the swell ease back to 4.9ft in the morning, and the wind lightens a bit to 9 mph from the north. Conditions clean up slightly, but it’s only a marginal call with questionable tide. The afternoon drops again to 3.9ft, and the cross-chop is still there. Not your day.

Friday, September 4 is the first time we see something a little cleaner—morning swell at 2.6ft from the north, period at 7 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze that leaves the surface clean. Still, that’s small and weak, with the energy reading only 83, so it’s more of a longboard glide than a proper wave. The afternoon pushes up to 4.3ft with clean conditions, but it’s still gutless. If you’re desperate, you could get wet, but keep expectations low.

Saturday, September 5 is messy again—3.3ft to 3.6ft from the north, short period around 6–7 seconds, and that cross-shore wind kicks up a cross-chop in the morning. The afternoon goes cross-off and clean-ish, but it’s tiny and weak. Sunday, September 6 brings a bit more size, 5.2ft to 4.9ft, but the wind’s back up at 16–19 mph and it’s lumpy. Not worth it.

Monday, September 7 is more of the same—5.9ft from the northeast, period only 7 seconds, and a fresh cross-shore wind. It’s rough out there. The energy climbs to 463–465, but it’s just messy whitewater. Tuesday, September 8 sees 6.6ft in the morning and 6.2ft in the afternoon, but the wind continues to mess things up. Still no good.

Wednesday, September 9 starts to feel like we’re getting some consistent push—7.2ft to 7.5ft from the northeast, period at 8 seconds—and the wind eases to 9–12 mph. The morning is marginal but still cross-shore with
