The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote) look like a write-off for decent surfing. We’ve got swell almost every day, but the wind is a constant enemy, and the scores are bottoming out.
The pattern is clear: a persistent northerly to north-northeasterly breeze hammering this reef. For Friday, July 31st, we start with a lumpy 5ft of short-period NNE swell (258 energy units) but the wind is a messy cross-shore, making it a total loss. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – not a big deal, but a little note.
Things don’t improve. Saturday morning, August 1st, shows a clean look with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is a weak 3ft and the period is a pathetic 7 seconds. The energy is low (187). It’s a tease, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
From Sunday, August 2nd, right through to Saturday, August 15th, it’s the same story. Swell heights range from 3ft up to 8ft, with combined energy climbing from 176 up to a strong 965 on the 7th of August. The problem is the wind. It’s a near-constant moderate to fresh breeze from the north, making the conditions cross-shore and lumpy. Even when the swell is bigger, like the 8ft on the 7th, the quality is rated as poor. That size is also getting into expert-only territory, especially with the short period.
There is a brief window on Saturday morning, August 1st, with a clean look, but it’s too small and weak. Don’t hold your breath. The setup here is looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session, given the wind and the chop. There are no standouts in this 16-day window. It’s a long, frustrating gap with no real recommendations.
Rusty.
