The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead for our local wave. We’re looking at a solid 16-day block, but honestly, the surf quality is a total write-off. There’s no standout day, no window of magic. Just a long, drawn-out period of poor conditions.
The setup is all cross-shore winds and messy, lumpy surf. There’s never a moment where the wind turns cleanly offshore. From Sunday the 16th right through to Monday the 1st of September, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a full two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell direction is mostly from the north, with heights hanging around the 3ft to 5ft range through the first week, but it’s all chopped up. The combined wave energy is moderate, sitting between 135 and 293 in that first week, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is cross and the surface is a mess.
Into the second week, the wind actually gets stronger. From the 24th onward, we see wind speeds jump to 19-25 mph, and the swell gets a little bigger, pushing 6ft to 7ft on the 25th. The combined energy spikes hard, reaching 625 on that Tuesday morning – that’s strong stuff – but it’s accompanied by “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy” conditions. For a reef break like Jameos del Agua, that’s just ugly. The swell period stays short, mostly 7-8 seconds, so there’s no real push or shape to the waves. It’s all just windblown slop.
If there was a shred of good news, the water temperature is sitting at a comfortable 73°F, which is about average for the time of year. But that's not enough to get me in the water when every session is blown out.
Look, this is a tough one. With no breaks that are fairly consistent or consistent offering anything decent, it’s just a blank run. Sometimes the ocean just shuts down for a while. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. Unless you're into kite surfing in strong cross-shore winds, I’d give it a miss.
Rusty.
