The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for your neck of the woods. Honestly, it's a pretty bleak picture for the next 16 days. We've got a long stretch with no real surf to speak of, so let's get into it.
Right now, the water temp is sitting at a balmy 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels like a late summer bath.
The only break in the game is Jameos del Agua, a reef setup that's fairly consistent but will rarely, if ever, offer anything decent. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off for surf. From Thursday the 20th of August all the way through to Friday the 4th of September, every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." We've got a persistent cross-shore or cross-onshore wind, mostly from the N or NNE, blowing at 12 to 28 mph. That's a stiff breeze that'll keep the surface messy and lumpy.
There is a flicker of life on Sunday the 23rd of August afternoon and into Monday the 24th. A longer-period NNW swell rolls in, with periods hitting 14 seconds on Sunday and 12 seconds on Monday. The combined wave energy is moderate (717 on Sunday, peaking at 939 on Monday morning), and swell heights sit around 4 ft to 6 ft. But the wind is still cross-shore at 12 mph, and the guidance calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It's not a day to get excited about. That long-period groundswell might offer some shape at a reef like this, but the cross-chop will spoil it.
From Tuesday the 25th of August onward, we're back to poor conditions. The swell drops off, the wind picks up again, and by the end of August and into early September, we see stronger breezes and even some cross-onshore wind, with swell heights bumping up to 8 ft. That's too big for beginners and, with the messy wind, only for the hardiest of experts. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
To sum it up: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
Rusty.
