The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on Jameos del Agua – this reef spot (Lanzarote) is staring down a grim 16-day stretch. From Monday 13 July through to Tuesday 28 July, every session is marked as poor surf conditions, with barely a glimmer of hope. The water’s sitting around 73°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
We kick off Monday afternoon with a clean little 3 ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, but the wind’s cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph, chopping it up. Tuesday and Wednesday are worse – smaller, shorter period, and the same nasty cross-breeze. By Thursday 16 July, the swell bumps up to 5–6 ft but the wind stiffens to 19–22 mph, creating lumpy cross-chop. That trend sticks: through the rest of July, we see 5 ft to 8 ft swells, mostly from the NNE or N, periods in the 6–8 second range, and cross-shore winds of 16–22 mph. No offshore, no clean faces – just messy, blown-out conditions.
The only near-miss is Thursday morning 23 July, where a 8 ft NNE swell (period 8 seconds) gets rated “marginal” – but with 12 mph cross-shore wind, it’s still not worth your time. The combined energy jumps around from under 100 up to 748, but the quality never materialises. Because Jameos del Agua is a reef break that’s fairly consistent normally, this blank run feels unusual. But hey, forecasts can shift – even in poor spells, things can turn around. For now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
