The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next two weeks are handing us for this spot. It's not exactly a tale of triumph, I'll tell you that much. We're looking at a tough start with a lot of onshore wind messing things up, but there's a glimmer of hope right at the very end.
The first week is a write-off, plain and simple. Starting from Friday the 28th of August, we've got a solid 7ft to 8ft swell from the NNE pushing in with a short period around 7 to 8 seconds. Combine that with a fresh to strong cross-onshore breeze from the NNE kicking up to 25 mph, and you're looking at a complete mess. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, clocking in at 384 to 844, but it doesn't matter because it's all cross-chop and lumpy slop. The water temp feels about average for this time of year at Jameos del Agua, but you won't care because you won't want to be in it. This poor run of cross-shore and onshore junk keeps up right through the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. The swell hangs around 5ft to 8ft, but that cross-shore wind from the NNE just destroys any chance of a decent wave. It's not until the afternoon of Friday, September 4th that things start to look a little cleaner, but the swell has dropped to just 4ft with a light cross-offshore breeze. The beach-and-reef setup here, with that much wind and chop earlier in the week, would be way more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle.
For the first real standout, we have to wait until the gap clears. The best bet on offer, and I'm being picky here, is Saturday, September 5th. Both the morning and afternoon sessions show clean conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The swell is small, at 3ft, coming from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. It's nothing huge, but the wind is light – morning breeze is 6 mph from the NW, afternoon is 9 mph from the N – so the surface will be glassy. The combined energy is weak (257-267), so it's just about having a few fun, clean waves to yourself. That's the pick of the litter.
After that, we go into another quiet stretch. The swell drops right down, bottoming out on Sunday, September 6th, with a tiny 1ft swell from the NNW. That one has a very long period of 15 seconds, but with no size it's just a bump on the water. This clean but tiny spell continues through to Thursday, September 10th. The waves stay under 3ft, with light to gentle winds keeping things tidy, but there's just no power.
Then, looking long-range, there's one more option. On Tuesday, September 7th and into the afternoon, we see a 3ft NNW swell with a period of 12 seconds rolling in with clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (300-351), and the cross-offshore wind from the NNW should keep it looking alright. It's far out, so less certain, but promising. The 12-second period means it'll be a proper groundswell with some push, which can turn a small wave into a fun little runner at this reef. That's your second standout, but keep your expectations in check.
The rest of the outlook into the second week stays small, with nothing above 3ft and most days seeing less than that. Saturday, September 12th has a 3ft WNW swell but with a moderate cross-shore wind that'll put bumps on it, so not worth getting excited about.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a total loss. The clear winner is Saturday, September 5th for the clean, light wind conditions on a small but rideable swell. Keep an eye on Tuesday, September 7th for a slightly better quality swell with a bit more period. Other than that, it's a long wait for very average surf.
Rusty.
