Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jameos del Agua over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. This outlook covers Jameos del Agua, a reef break, and I’ve got to be straight with you: the next 16 days are a real struggle. There isn’t a single session that gets a recommendation. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, and the conditions are consistently described as poor. It’s a tough beat.
The first few days, from Saturday the 11th into next week, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at 0.7ft to 3ft on the 11th and 12th, with a weak energy reading of just 36 to 253. The wind is a mix of cross-off and cross-on, but the waves just aren’t there. The water temp is sitting at about 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
By the middle of the following week, from the 15th onwards, the swell does start to build. We see heights push up to 4ft, then 6ft by the 17th, and energy climbs into the moderate range (123 to 439). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore breeze, creating a lumpy, cross-chop mess. It’s not surfable in any decent way.
There’s a big spike in size around the 22nd of July, with swell hitting 8ft and energy soaring to a very strong 1142. That’s a lot of water, but it’s all cross-onshore with a “fresh breeze” and lumpy conditions. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle-surfing. For a reef break, that’s just a washing machine.
The last few days of the month, from the 24th to the 26th, the swell drops back to 4ft to 4ft, with energy fading to 188-236. Still, the wind is fresh and cross-shore, so the surface stays chopped. Basically, if you’re looking for a clean, lined-up wave at Jameos del Agua, you’re not finding it in this window. It’s a blank run.
Rusty.
