The Lowdown
Alright guys, Rusty here. Let’s size up Jameos del Agua. This reef needs a clean north wind to fire, and for the next 16 days, it’s looking like a write-off for paddling. It’s all cross-shore winds that are gonna leave the surface lumpy and choppy. There’s a gap of quiet days at the start because the surf is just no good.
The only window that might be worth a look is Monday, August 24th. A long-period groundswell shows up from the NNW at 6ft with a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 782 (a moderate to strong push). That long period is perfect for the reef, giving you some well-shaped lines. But the wind is still cross-shore, so it won’t be clean. It’s the only real standout in this whole stretch, and it’s marginal at best. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
From the 27th of August into early September, the swell really pumps up to 8ft and over, but it’s all blown out by a strong NNE wind at 25 mph and more. The energy readings are huge (over 1000), but the wind is making it a total mess. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding park than a surfing spot. It’s a long, tough stretch with no real hope. Sometimes you just gotta wait for a better forecast. Rusty out.
