The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you right off the bat: it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but there’s not a single moment I’d be stoked to paddle out. The whole run is a washout. From now, right through to the end of the month, every single day shows poor surf conditions, so you’re looking at a full blank run with no standout days whatsoever. That’s pretty normal for this area when the wind and swell just don’t line up.
Let’s look at the only option on the table: Jameos del Agua. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, but the problem is the wind. It’s cross-shore and fresh, blowing at 18 to 22 mph practically every day, especially through the first week. That’s going to leave things lumpy and chopped up. The swell sits between 3 ft and 7 ft through the whole period, mostly from the NNE, with a short period barely hitting 8 seconds. The combined swell energy runs from a weak 139 right up to a moderate 532, but even the biggest days around the 15th and 16th of August are still plagued by that messy cross-chop. Water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing.
There is one tiny glimmer on Tuesday afternoon, the 18th of August, where the wind shifts to a cross-off breeze and the wave comment says "clean." But even then, it’s only 5 ft with an 8-second period and the combined energy is still low. Not exactly something to call in sick for. The 21st of August afternoon also shows a brief clean-up, but again, it’s small and weak.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there is nothing worth chasing. The setup here is looking much more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that constant cross-shore breeze. Leave the boards in the garage for now.
