The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up: this 16-day window is a tough one for Lanzarote. The only break we’ve got on the radar is Jameos del Agua, and to be blunt, the numbers are grim.

The forecast is pretty much a write-off from now through to Friday the 5th of September. There are zero good surf options across the whole sixteen days. That’s a long, dry spell. All of the wind is coming from the north or north-northeast, and it’s relentless – moderate to strong breezes, mostly cross-shore, with a lumpy cross-chop that kills any chance of a clean face. The swell direction is all wrong, too; it’s coming from the north, but this place really needs it from the north to line up properly, and even when there’s size, the quality is shot.

The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Let’s run through what little there is. The first few days are just poor. On Sunday the 23rd, there’s a slight uptick in the morning – a 3ft north swell with a long 10-second period, and a light north-northeast breeze. The energy is still weak at (331), and the wind is cross-shore, so while it’s cleaner than the rest, it’s still only marginal. The afternoon gets more interesting in size – a 5ft north-northwest swell with a very long 14-second period. That energy jumps to a moderate (1030). Sounds promising? The issue is the wind is still cross-shore, and that long-period groundswell at a place like this can get a bit straight and tricky. It’s marginal, not a standout.

Monday the 24th keeps the swell size up around 6ft from the north-northwest, with good period (12 seconds) and moderate wave energy (976), but the wind is cross and up to 16 mph, turning it into a messy cross-chop. By Tuesday the 25th, it’s back to poor conditions.

The end of the run, around Thursday the 28th and Friday the 29th of August, sees the biggest swell of the period – a solid 10ft from the north-northeast with strong energy (1693). That’s expert-only territory, but with the wind howling at 25-28 mph and cross-onshore, it’s a complete mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

There’s nothing redeeming here. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not entirely unusual when the trade winds lock in from the north and just won’t let up. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

Rusty.
