The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Jameos del Agua.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The forecast is a solid run of days where the wind is just howling from the north-northeast, clocking in at a steady 15 to 19 mph, blowing cross-shore or cross-onshore. That's going to churn things up into a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined swell energy is moderate, ranging from around 160 to 350, but it's all windswell with short periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 74°, which is a small consolation but doesn't help the surf.
This stretch runs from Sunday the 9th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 18th of August. There's not a single session in there that's worth getting excited about. The surf height hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft, but with that wind, it's just messy.
Finally, there's a little glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning session looks like the standout. The wind drops right off to a light 6 mph from the north, going cross-offshore, which will clean things right up. We're looking at a clean 4 ft swell from the north with a longer period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 302. This is the only window where it's going to be any good. The wind stays light through the afternoon, but it shifts a bit cross-shore, so the morning is your best bet. The crowd factor is listed as "often" here, so expect company, especially with conditions this rare.
After that, Thursday the 20th has a brief moment of clean conditions in the morning and afternoon, but the swell drops to 4 ft and the energy fades to around 180. It's surfable, but it's not the standout.
So, if you're hanging out for a wave, the one and only true standout is the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. Get out there early and make the most of it. After that, it looks like another dry spell through the end of the month.
Rusty, signing off.
