The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our little corner of the world.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch to start. Right from Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got a solid pulse of swell rolling in from the NNE, but the wind is just a total mess. We’re looking at a full week of strong cross-shore winds, which is just going to tear up the surface. The wave energy will be moderate to strong, but all that does is create a lumpy, cross-chop soup. Even with the swell building to over 8 ft on the weekend, it’s a no-go. You’d need to be an expert to handle that size, but the cross-shore wind will just make it a washing machine. This stretch is a write-off until the 31st of July.
Now, we do finally see a bit of a change. On Friday the 31st of July, the wind drops right down to a gentle breeze. The swell is still a substantial 8 ft from the NNE, but it’s just a bit too straight and the period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit fat and gutless. The conditions are “marginal,” so don’t expect perfection, but it’s a definite step up from the week prior.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The forecast is showing a proper spike of energy with a 12 ft NNE swell and a 9-second period. That's a lot of water moving. Crucially, the wind is due to swing offshore from the NNW. That’s the magic word – clean. For *Jameos del Agua* (Cite), a reef break, this is as good as it gets. The swell direction from the NNE is spot on for what this spot likes. However, at 12 ft, this is only for experts. The wave energy is very strong, and the sets will be powerful. Beginners, stay well clear. Crowds are often an issue here, and on a day this good, you can expect the lineup to be packed with the local crew.
Saturday the 1st of August looks like a decent warm-up with nearly 8 ft swell and light winds, and the following Monday the 3rd of August still has a clean 8 ft swell, but the energy drops off significantly. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So there you go. The first week is a total write-off. Then we get a couple of days of average, build-up surf. The big one is a very promising but uncertain long-range call for Sunday the 2nd of August. If you’re an expert, that’s your day.
Rusty.
