The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. The swell window over the next couple of weeks is looking pretty ordinary for Jameos del Agua. We’ve got a run of days where the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-shore and cross-onshore, messing up what little swell is pushing in. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The first stretch, from the 26th through to the 4th, is a write-off. Swell heights are bouncing around between 0.6ft and 8ft, but it’s all wind-affected junk. That Friday the 28th sees a bump in size, up to 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, but the wind is howling from the northeast at 22-25 mph, creating a messy, lumpy surface that’s not surfable. The energy is there – hitting 577 in the afternoon – but with conditions like that, you’d be battling a washing machine, not catching a wave. That bigger state continues into the weekend of the 29th and 30th, with swell over 7ft, but again, the cross-shore wind just chops it all up. No good.
There’s a slight reprieve starting the 3rd of September. The wind backs off a bit, and we get some cross-offshore flow, which cleans things up. The swell has dropped to 5ft, and while it’s not perfect, it’s at least looking cleaner. The 4th has some clean waves around 5ft, but it’s still rated as marginal. From the 7th, we start seeing some longer period swell – around 14-17 seconds – which is a sign of more organised groundswell, but the size is small, only 4ft. The energy is strong though, with some readings in the 800s, which for Jameos is decent. This is the most promising part of the window. The 8th and 9th look like the best bets, with clean conditions and a longer period swell. For a reef break, that longer period is a good thing, giving it better shape and more push. It’s not big, but it could be fun for the intermediate crew.
Honestly, if you’re keen, mark your calendar for the 8th and 9th of September. It’s still not a classic, but it’s the only time in the next two weeks that looks like it might offer a few decent rides. Everything before that is just frustration.
