Jameos del Agua Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya what we’ve got coming up for Jameos del Agua. It’s a bit of a tough stretch, so keep your expectations in check.

Right out of the gate, the best wave of the whole 16-day window is on Saturday, July 4th. We get a clean 4ft push from the north, with a period of 9 seconds coming through. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so the surface is gonna be looking good. The water temp is a perfectly normal 71°F, about average for this time of year. The combined energy is 278, so it’s a solid moderate push. This is your standout window, no doubt.

After that, from Sunday the 5th, it’s mostly a write-off for quality surfing here. The wind stays cross or cross-off but picks up too much, and the swell drops off in size and power. For the next week or so, the wave heights hang between 1ft and 5ft, but the wind is either moderate or fresh, creating a lumpy cross-chop that just ruins the lines. The combined energy drops way down, sometimes under 100, and when it does pick up a bit around the 10th, the wind is still a messy cross at 15 mph. There’s no clean, glassy session in this middle stretch.

Moving into the second week, around July 14th, the swell tries to come back up. We see heights hitting 5ft to 6ft from the north and north-northeast, and the combined energy jumps into the range of 317 to 455. But unfortunately, the wind is still a fresh cross or cross-off at 15 to 18 mph, churning up a lumpy mess. For a reef setup like this, that wind direction just isn't giving us the groomed face we need. It gets to about 7ft on the 19th, but the quality is still poor according to the data, so it’s nothing to get excited about.

Bottom line: if you can get out on Saturday the 4th, you’re in for a treat. The rest of the stretch is a long, frustrating wait for something clean to line up.
