The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down. We’re looking at a long stretch of time, and for the first week and a half, it’s going to be a tough slog. The wind is the bad guy here, making a mess of the surf.
The main spot, Jameos del Agua (reef), is locked in a battle with strong, cross-shore winds for days. Starting Saturday, August 29th, we’ve got a 6ft to 6ft swell from the NNW and N, but it’s getting hammered by a Fresh breeze, making it lumpy and cross-onshore. The combined wave energy is moderate, sitting around 945 on Saturday morning, but the quality is just poor. This pattern sticks around all the way through to September 3rd. The swell builds to 10ft by Wednesday morning, September 2nd, but with a Strong breeze, it’s messy and definitely only for the experts. That’s a lot of energy (1074) going to waste.
Then, a real glimmer of hope. On Thursday afternoon, September 3rd, the wind finally drops out. It goes glassy. The swell settles to 6ft from the NNE, and the energy is moderate (431). This is the standout moment. The conditions are glassy, and the wave comment says "expect good surf conditions." Get out there. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean, and that’s a major positive after all that wind.
Friday morning, September 4th, still looks okay with a light offshore wind (W at 5 km/h) and a 5ft N swell, but it’s a bit weaker. After that, the wind starts to pick up again, turning cross-off and cross-shore through the weekend, with the surf dropping to 4ft to 5ft. The conditions are "clean" but the energy is low, and it’s really just ordinary.
From September 7th onward, the north-easterly trades kick back in with a vengeance. The swell hangs around 5ft to 7ft, but it’s constantly cross-on or cross-shore with a Fresh breeze. It’s lumpy and choppy. A couple of days in the second week, like Tuesday, September 8th morning, look "clean" with a cross-off wind, but it’s marginal and the energy is weak (331). Not a proper session.
The last few days of the forecast, from September 11th to 13th, are just a write-off. The swell drops to 1ft to 5ft, the wind is strong and cross-shore, and the wave energy is low (240 to 325). Even the long-period groundswell (18 seconds) that shows up on the 12th is completely bungled by the wind.
So, to sum it up: the only real window to score is Thursday afternoon, September 3rd. That’s your best bet. The water temperature is about average for the time of year at Jameos del Agua, so no wetsuit worries there. The rest of the time, it’s a battle against the wind. The crowds are "often" here, but with the conditions being so poor for so long, it might not be too busy.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Thursday afternoon.
Rusty.
