The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, this is a grim stretch for the region. The first real surfable conditions don't show up until the 13th of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a long, quiet gap with no real recommendations until then.
The only spot on the radar is Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote). This is a reef break, fairly consistent, but it’s been hammered by strong cross-shore winds and lumpy junk for days. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 75°F.
Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th September – Forget it. Northerly winds gusting at 15-18 mph are tearing the surface apart. Swell is short-period, around 4ft to 5ft, but the energy is weak to moderate (136–282) and the conditions are just plain poor.
Monday 7th through Friday 11th September – Still no good. The wind stays strong from the north-northeast, 15-22 mph, and the sea is a cross-shore mess. Swell gets a little bigger, up to 6ft by the 9th, but the period is short and the energy is moderate (357–433). The water is messy, lumpy, and not worth the paddle.
Saturday 12th September – Things start to nudge up. We’re seeing 7ft swell from the north with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong (525–554). The wind turns cross-offshore from the NNW, which cleans it up a bit, but it’s still only a marginal forecast. At 7ft, this is getting into expert territory for a reef break.
Sunday 13th September – This is the first real window of the whole forecast. The wind drops right out. A light southerly breeze at 3 mph creates glassy conditions in the morning. The swell is 4ft from the north, 8-second period, with moderate energy (265). It’s a reef break, so that shorter period won’t be a problem. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. Still, if you’re desperate, this is the one morning to go. The water is still a touch warmer than normal.
Monday 14th through Saturday 19th September – We’re back to poor conditions. Small swell, 1ft to 3ft, with weak energy (97–200). The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but it’s just too small to get excited about. There’s a slight improvement on the 19th with a light offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph, and 5ft swell from the north-northeast, but it’s still only ordinary.
Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th September – These are the best days of the whole run. On Saturday the 19th, the morning has a gentle offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph, giving clean conditions. The swell is 5ft from the north-northeast, 6-second period, with moderate energy (190). By the afternoon, the wind goes light cross-off, and the swell bumps to 5ft. Then Sunday the 20th sees glassy light winds in the morning with a light cross-off breeze, and 5ft swell. The energy is moderate (201–217). The waves are still just ordinary, but those are the pick of the bunch.
The Bottom Line: This is a tough outlook. The reef at Jameos del Agua just isn’t firing. The best chance to get wet is a very short window on the 13th of September in the glassy morning, or the clean-ish days on the 19th and 20th. If you’re a beginner, the swell stays under 5ft on those days, so it’s manageable. For everyone else, keep your expectations low.
Rusty.
