The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Jameos del Agua. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The pattern is pretty much the same for the whole 16 days: a lot of energy, but it’s plagued by constant cross-shore wind from the north-northeast, which is making a mess of things. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sniff of something surfable doesn’t come until Saturday, August 1st. The morning shows a cleaner look with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and the swell is 5ft from the north-northeast, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short period, so it’s not going to have much punch, but it’s the only time the wind is working in our favor. The combined energy is moderate (311). The rest of the day and the following days are a write-off – the wind stays cross or cross-onshore, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy.
The swell actually builds into early August, with waves hitting 8ft on the 5th and then 10ft on the 6th. That’s a lot of water, but the wind is still blowing cross, so the quality is poor. For a reef break like this, those stronger NW swells (combined energy hitting 1338 on the 6th) might be interesting for the experts, but the wind just won’t let it clean up. It’s a big, bumpy mess.
The second week is more of the same. The swell stays around 6ft to 7ft, and the wind keeps hammering it from the north-northeast. There’s a brief moment on the 8th where the swell period bumps up to 9 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 19-22 mph cross-shore, so it’s still lumpy. Nothing is coming together for a stand-out session.
Honestly, the only window that’s worth paddling for is that Saturday morning, August 1st, for the cleanest conditions. But even then, it’s marginal. For the rest of the run, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that strong, consistent cross-breeze and a decent amount of swell. The long gap of no good options is pretty much the whole forecast.
Rusty.
