Jameos del Agua Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough beat. For the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 8th right through to the 15th, we’re looking at a real flat spell with weak, short-period windswell and a grinding cross-shore wind that just won’t let up. The energy is tiny, in the 20s and 30s (combined energy 24 to 144), and the waves are just messy. There’s nothing to get excited about, and the reports are all “poor surf conditions.” You’d be better off waxing your board at home.

The pattern does shift around the 16th of July. We start to see a solid bump in size, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-shore. The swell builds from the NNE, and by the 18th we’re looking at 8 ft of swell, period around 8 seconds, and a combined energy hitting 684 – that’s moderate to strong energy. But here’s the kicker: the wind is still a fresh cross-shore breeze, creating a lumpy cross-chop. It’s not clean, it’s not pretty. That kind of setup is really more for the kite surfers than us paddle guys. The waves will be there, but the quality is poor.

The standout moment, if you can call it that, is on the 23rd of July. The swell jumps to 10 ft from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 1614 – that’s powerful stuff. But the wind is cross-onshore and lumpy, and the report is “marginal surf forecast.” That kind of size is only for experts, and even then, the conditions are going to be a battle. Don’t get your hopes up for a clean session.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s not one standout break that delivers the goods. It’s a long, dry spell. Let’s hope the models change.

Rusty.
