The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Jameos del Agua in feet and miles per hour.
The outlook is grim for the next two weeks, plain and simple. Water temp is 73.8°, just a touch warmer than average.
From Tuesday the 11th through Monday the 17th, you’ve got waist-to-chest high waves, 4 to 6 feet, coming from the NNE. But the period is short – 6 to 10 seconds – so there’s no power behind them. Wind is blowing a steady 15 to 19 mph cross-shore, making a lumpy, bumpy mess. The combined energy is weak to moderate, hanging in the 180 to 456 range. This is not surfable for a paddle board. Kite surfers might have a look.
The one bright spot is Tuesday morning, the 18th. The wind drops to a light 6 mph, swinging cross-offshore from the north. The swell is 5 feet from the north, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 371. The optimum swell direction for this reef is north, so everything lines up for a clean session. This is the standout day. Just know that Jameos del Agua breaks often and can get crowded.
From Wednesday the 19th onward, it’s back to poor conditions. Wind picks up, the swell stays weak and short, and the scores stay at zero. The last week, from the 21st to the 26th, sees bigger swell – 6 to
