The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – the outlook for Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote) over the next 16 days is pretty grim, especially for the first week and a half. We’ve got a real flat start, and even when the swell shows up, the wind is just ruining it. The water is sitting at about 74°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

For this Sunday the 9th, the swell is around 6 ft from the NNE with a short 7-second period. Problem is, the wind is howling from the north at 19 mph, side-shore and lumpy. The combined wave energy is a moderate 295 (moderate energy), but the conditions are just poor. That’s the story right through the first week: consistent side-shore winds, moderate to fresh, and a mushy, lumpy cross-chop. The swell builds a little towards the 14th and 15th, hitting 6-7 ft on Friday and Saturday, and energy climbs into the 400s and even 549 (moderate to strong), but the wind stays side-shore or even side-on, so it’s a messy, blown-out mess. For a reef break like Jameos del Agua, which needs clean conditions, this is a no-go.

There’s a stretch of dead quiet from the 9th through to the 17th – no surf worth paddling for. Honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of that first week, with the strong side-shore winds and some energy in the water.

The one flicker of hope comes as we head into the second week. On Tuesday the 18th, the wind finally swings to a light cross-offshore from the NNW at just 9 mph, and the swell drops to 4 ft. The afternoon is the first time we see “clean” conditions and a score that suggests it’s at least surfable. The energy is weak at 134 (weak energy), but it’s a start. Wednesday the 19th looks the best we’ve got: a 3-4 ft swell from the north, with periods starting to push to 8 seconds, and near-glass in the morning with the wind dropping to just 3 mph. Clear skies, clean faces. The energy is still low at 130-203 (weak to low moderate), but this is your window if you’re desperate. Thursday the 20th holds similar, with 4-5 ft from the north, 9-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze – clean, but still marginal. The energy climbs to 320 (moderate) on Thursday morning.

Then, from Friday the 21st, the winds whip back up, and it’s back to side-shore chop and poor conditions through to the end. The swell on the 21st hits 5 ft with a nice 9-second period and energy of 681 (moderate to strong), but the cross-wind wrecks it. The 22nd and 23rd are similar – swell around 6-6 ft, but messy.

So, the standouts? Tuesday the 18th afternoon and Wednesday the 19th are your only real shots at something clean. I’d point you to the 19th, especially the morning: 3 ft from the north, dead calm wind, and a reef break that can handle it. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest you get. It’s a fairly consistent break, and the optimum direction from the north matches the guidance, so it’s worth a look. Just don’t expect much.

Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jameos del Agua may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
