Jameos del Agua Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the cards for this next stretch.

The standout is Jameos del Agua—the first few days are where it's at. We've got a solid run from Friday morning, 3rd July, rolling into the weekend. Friday morning kicks things off with a clean 5ft swell out of the north, with a 9-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. That's a proper reef break setup, and the energy is solid, coming in at 425. It’s a fairly consistent spot, and the wind is going to have it looking pretty tidy. Saturday morning keeps the good vibes going: 4ft from the north, cleaner still with light cross-off winds, and the energy is moderate at 334. If you're an intermediate surfer, Friday morning and Saturday morning are your windows. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. Just a heads-up though—this spot can get busy, so expect some company out there.

By Sunday morning, the swell drops to 3ft and the wind picks up, and things start to go downhill. From Sunday afternoon right through the rest of the forecast, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The swell sticks around between 2ft and 8ft, but the wind is cross or cross-off and often strong—12 to 22 mph—and the wave energy stays moderate to high but the quality just isn’t there. The period is short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, which doesn't help. From Monday 6th July all the way through to Saturday 18th July, it's a write-off for decent paddle surfing at this break. The bigger swells later in the run, like the 6ft to 8ft on the 17th and 18th, are just messy with lumpy cross-chop—more of a kite surfing situation than a surf session.

So, in short: get out Friday morning or Saturday morning in the first week. After that, we’re looking at a long, poor run with no standouts through to the end of the 16-day period. It’s a bummer, but that’s how it’s shaping up.

Rusty.
