The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at a long, frustrating run of onshore and cross-shore winds that are just gonna chop everything up. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to the end of the month, it’s a grim picture. The swell is there, but the wind is just killing it. The energy is moderate, with combined swell energy readings like 968 and 755 through those first couple days, but it’s all messy cross-chop.
Then we roll into the first week of August, and there’s finally a glimmer of hope. Saturday the 1st of August, the wind swings around to a light northwesterly, going cross-offshore. It cleans up the surface beautifully, but the swell is only about 5ft from the NNE with a short 7-second period. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year here, nothing weird going on.
Sunday the 2nd of August is the standout, and it’s the one to circle. Early morning you’ve got light offshore wind from the west, about 6 mph, with a clean 4ft NNE swell. The energy is low, just 164 (weak), but the wind and conditions are genuinely clean. If you’re keen, get on it early at Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote). The reef there can be fun on smaller days like this, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be glassy. The wave height is small, so it’s good for intermediates, and the swell direction from the north matches up with that optimum northerly direction the spot likes. Just a heads up – this break is fairly consistent but can get crowded often, so expect a few heads out.
From the 4th of August onwards, the swell really starts to pump, but again the wind turns nasty. Cross-shore winds pick up again, and we get lumpy, choppy conditions. By the 9th and 10th of August, the swell is hitting 10ft from the north with strong wave energy (1361 and 1495), but it’s just a messy, blown-out mess. That’s more a kite surfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s dream.
So bottom line: grab your window on the 2nd of August. The rest needs a change in the weather pattern to be worth the paddle out. Keep your eyes peeled, forecasts can shift.
