The Lowdown
Alright gang, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase.
The next ten days or so at Jameos del Agua are a real grind. There's a long, dry gap before we get anything decent. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off with plenty of chop, and the surf quality is reading "poor" or "marginal" for most of it.
We kick off Saturday, September 12th and Sunday, September 13th with a blustery, messy cross-shore wind and lumpy chop. There's swell around 5 ft to 6 ft from the north, but with only an 8-second period, it's just a jumbled mess. The combined wave energy is moderate (492–493 on Saturday), but the conditions are a total write-off.
The cleanest window early on is Monday, September 14th. We get a break in the wind – a slight air and light breeze – with a cross-off flow. The swell drops to 2 ft to 3 ft from the north, but it's clean. The period jumps to 12 seconds in the afternoon, so you'll get some decent shape and push despite the smaller size (combined energy at 234–265). Still, it's just "surfable but very ordinary."
From Tuesday, September 15th through Friday, September 18th, it's back to cross-shore chaos with fresh winds hitting 22 mph. The swell builds back over 6 ft on the 17th, and the energy spikes to 828 on the morning of the 18th, but with a fresh cross-off wind, it's going to be blown-out and choppy. Not your spot unless you're on a kite.
We hit Saturday, September 20th, and things start to come together. A weak 4 ft swell from the north with a light offshore wind out of the WNW. Combined energy is moderate (333), but that offshore flow will clean it up nicely. That's the first real standout.
The best session of the whole outlook is Monday afternoon, September 21st. The swell is tiny at 2 ft, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions. That 16-second period from the NNW is an ultra-long groundswell. For a reef like Jameos, that long-period energy will wrap in and give you silky smooth, rippable lines even though it's small. The combined energy is moderate (378), but with zero wind, this is the one to circle on your calendar.
After that, the wind gets messy again, but a promising window opens on Wednesday morning, September 23rd with a 5 ft groundswell from the NE and a gentle cross-off breeze keeping it clean. The offshore direction is ideal for this break, and the energy is moderate (378). Another solid option.
The last week just fades out into small, weak, choppy nothing.
So, my picks: Monday afternoon, September 21st is your golden ticket for tiny, clean, glassy, long-period runners. If you want a bit more size and don't mind a whisper of breeze, Wednesday morning, September 23rd is your best bet for a solid, clean session. The water is running about 75°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
