The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Jameos del Agua. Honestly, it’s a rough run. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf, with no decent windows to paddle into. The swell sticks around, but the wind just won’t play ball, and the conditions are consistently poor.
We kick off on Thursday, September 3rd, with a NNE wind at 9 mph making things cross and choppy. The swell is 3.9ft from the NNE with a short, weak 7-second period that lacks any punch. The combined wave energy is a modest 204 – nothing to get excited about. Water temp is sitting at 75.2°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It doesn’t get better from there. Friday sees a slightly smaller 3ft swell from the north, but the wind picks up straight away, and by Saturday we’ve got a fresh breeze at 19 mph out of the north, turning the surface lumpy and messy. Sunday and Monday bring a bit more size – 4.9ft on Sunday, building to 5.2ft on Monday – but the wind stays fresh and cross, so the face stays chopped up and unrideable. Tuesday, September 8th, sees the swell push past 6.6ft from the NNE (energy hitting 667-608), but with that same fresh breeze howling, it’s just a washing machine. That size (up to 6.9ft by Wednesday the 9th) is getting into expert-only territory anyway, but it doesn’t matter because the wind kills it. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday afternoon, September 16th, where a marginal surf forecast pops up – 6.2ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds and a cross-off breeze from the NNW at 12 mph making it clean for a moment – but it only scores a 1 out of 10. That’s the closest we get to a wave, but the energy is still moderate (464) and the swell direction (NNE) isn’t an ideal match for the optimum north swell the reef wants. It’s too little, too late. The rest of the run is just more of the same: lumpy cross-shore chop, swell from the north and NNE, and wind that never lets up. Honestly, this whole stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that. But for a surf, we’re looking at a blank run with nothing on the horizon. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
