The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. I’ve had a look at the coming swell window for Jameos del Agua, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a grind. We’re staring down a long stretch of surf that’s just not cooperating, so don’t expect much to pump.
For the bulk of September, from Thursday the 3rd right through to Friday the 18th, the conditions are consistently marked as poor. The swell sticks mainly around 3 ft to 6 ft, wrapping in from the N and NNE, with period mostly hanging between 6 and 8 seconds—short-period, wind-driven stuff that never gets a chance to clean up. The combined energy starts off moderate in the low hundreds, builds into a strong run hitting 636 (moderate-to-strong wave energy) around Tuesday the 8th, but it’s all blown out by cross and cross-onshore winds that rarely let up. For a reef break that needs a clean Northerly to work properly, this is frustrating.
There’s no standout window here, not even a sniff of a good day. The first week is dominated by a persistent NNE wind at 12-19 mph, producing lumpy chop and cross-chop. A brief pause in the wind comes Friday the 4th morning with a light NNW breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is only 3 ft with weak energy (101)—tempting but too small. The strength of the wind picks up again sharply from the 6th onward. If you’re out there on Tuesday the 8th morning when the swell hits 6 ft with a bit more period (8 sec) and energy at 636, the wind is still cross or onshore, so it’s going to be messy.
Crowds at Jameos del Agua are often present, so on any half-decent day you’d have company, but there’s no such day in the forecast.
By the second week, the energy drops back and the wind remains moderately fresh from the NNE, keeping the surface bumpy. Water temp is about average for this time of year. To put it bluntly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—strong, consistent wind and swell that never aligns right.
Don’t write the whole season off yet; forecasts can flip. But for now, my recommendation is to sit this one out.
Rusty.
