The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Jameos del Agua are a tough watch. From Saturday the 18th through to Sunday the 2nd of August, the wind is locked in from the north and north-northeast, blowing cross-shore at 18 to 28 mph. It’s relentless. The swell is coming from the NNE, which is a poor match for this reef’s optimum northerly direction, and every single session is marked as poor surf. The combined energy climbs from a moderate 329 up to a very strong 1533 by the 29th, but without the right wind, that energy is just messy, lumpy chop. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°, but that’s no comfort.
There are no standouts. No good windows. The entire 16-day stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The only thing that really changes is the size: from 6 ft early on to 10 ft by the 29th, but even then, the wind is howling at 28 mph. At 8 ft and above, this is expert-only territory, but with that cross-shore mess, it’s more suited to a kite. If you’re desperate, the last couple of days – the 1st and 2nd of August – see the wind drop to 12–15 mph and the swell back off to 5 ft, but the period is still short (8–10 seconds) and the surf is still poor. A blank run like this is normal for the area when the trades set in. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
