The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Let’s break it down. The Lanzarote surf scene is looking pretty average for the next week or so, with a lot of wind issues. There’s a big dry spell with no real recommendations until we get into the second week, so don’t get too excited just yet.
At Jameos del Agua (a nice little reef), the first few days are a bit of a washout. Sunday the 13th has a clean-looking afternoon with glassy conditions from a 5ft N swell, but the morning is a mess with cross-shore wind. Monday and Tuesday aren’t worth the drive, with messy cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell. The wind is just too cross for this spot. Wednesday and Thursday (16th-17th) see the swell bumping up to 7ft, but it’s all cross-shore and lumpy – that’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
The first real highlight doesn’t show up until Sunday the 20th. That morning, we get clean cross-offshore winds from the SSW and a 3ft groundswell out of the NNW with a solid 14-second period. Combined wave energy is moderate (522). That long period will give it some real punch, perfect for a reef like Jameos. The next Monday morning is a no-go, but Tuesday morning the 22nd is the hidden gem: glassy conditions, same clean 3ft NNW swell with a 13-second period, and more energy (443). That’s the session to circle on your calendar. Wednesday the 23rd also has clean conditions in the morning with a 3ft swell and good period.
Looking further out, Monday the 28th is shaping up to be the best of the whole run, but it’s a long way off. We’re talking a 4ft NNW swell with a very long 15-second period and light offshore WSW wind. Wave energy is strong at 729. This is a classic Lanzarote groundswell arrival. For an open reef like Jameos, that long-period NNW swell could line up really well with the optimum N direction, offering powerful, well-shaped waves. The water temp is around 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a shorty. Keep an eye on that date, but remember, long-range calls are always a bit of a gamble.
Stay patient. The second week saves this outlook.
Rusty.
