The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. This is for Jameos del Agua, Lanzarote.
Honestly, the first week-plus is a total no-go. Starting Thursday, August 27, all the way through to the start of September, the wind is relentless – NNE, fresh to strong breeze, blowing cross-shore or cross-onshore. The surf is lumpy, messy, and just not worth the paddle. Swell runs from 3ft to 8ft, but the quality is garbage. The combined wave energy stays weak to moderate (33 to 880). It’s a long stretch of nothing.
Things start to shift Thursday, September 3 afternoon. The wind goes NNW and drops to a moderate breeze, turning cross-offshore. The water cleans up, but the surf is still poor. By Friday morning, September 4, we get surfable but very ordinary conditions – swell around 4ft from the north, period 8 seconds, with a gentle NNW breeze. Clean, but weak (228 energy). Rideable, but nothing special.
The standout window is Wednesday, September 9 morning. This is the one. Swell bumps to 7ft from the northeast, period 7 seconds, and a light NNW breeze keeps it clean and cross-offshore. The combined wave energy hits 675 – that’s moderate to strong, with real push. This is a reef break, so it holds the energy well, and the direction is right in the zone for the optimum north swell. Expect very good surf conditions. This is for intermediate to advanced surfers – 7ft is a bit much for beginners. Thursday, September 10 morning is also solid: 7ft from the north-northeast, clean with a gentle breeze, and energy at 700. After that, Friday, September 11 sees the wind go cross-shore and a slight chop creep in.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year. Crowds are common here, so expect company when the surf turns on.
This spot is fairly consistent and fairly exposed to the swell. The best window is that Wednesday-Thursday stretch in the second week. It’s a long-range call, so stay tuned, but it’s your best chance by a long shot. That’s the word.
