The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Grab a seat and let’s talk about what’s on the table for Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote). I’ll lay it out plain: this sixteen-day stretch is a tough one. It starts rough and stays rough for a long, long time. There’s nearly a two-week gap—from Wednesday August 19 right through to Monday September 1—where there’s absolutely nothing worth paddling for. The wind is a problem, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and often strong enough to kill any chance of a clean wave. So if you’re hoping for a session, you’ll be waiting.
The only day that gets even a sniff of something better is Wednesday September 2. Let’s break it down. By the morning, we’ve got swell from the north at about 7ft with a really long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with serious energy—the combined energy is huge (1644, strong to very strong). For a reef break like this, a long-period north swell coming from the optimum direction is exactly what you want. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NNE at 25 km/h, which will put a bit of cross-chop on the surface. It’s not glassy or offshore, but it’s not onshore either. Water temp is about average for the season—nothing out of the ordinary.
This is a reef break, pretty consistent, and aimed at intermediate surfers. With waves pushing over 6ft and that long period, it’s not for beginners. Crowds are “often” here, so expect company if it looks good. But honestly, even on that Wednesday, the conditions are marginal at best—just a slight chance with tricky tides. Thursday September 3 drops back to poor surf again.
So, to sum it up: this is a dry spell. Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecast—things can change—but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.
