The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this next 16-day window is a real tough one for Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote). The forecast is a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf conditions. There’s no surf worth chasing until at least Friday, August 7th, and even then, it’s not good. From Friday the 7th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd, the story is the same: cross-shore winds and lumpy, chopped-up waves. There’s no standout day, no sneaky window of clean surf. It’s a real bummer.
The wind is the main culprit here. It’s going to be a persistent moderate to fresh breeze out of the north, blowing straight across the break. That’s cross-shore, and it’s going to put a nasty cross-chop on the surface. The swell itself is actually there – mostly from the NNE, ranging from 3.9 ft up to 6.9 ft, and the combined energy (between 202 and 499) is moderate to fairly strong. But the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, which is just windswell, not the kind of groundswell that gives you a nice, clean wall. For a reef break like this, a short-period swell from the north isn’t the magic direction; it needs a solid N or NW groundswell to really work.
The best you could hope for is the very end of the run, around Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. The wind does drop a little on Friday the 21st to a moderate breeze (12 mph), and the swell picks up a bit more period (9 seconds) and energy (over 440), but it’s still cross-shore. It won’t be clean. It’ll be a lumpy, bumpy mess. If you’re desperate and you’ve got a beater board, maybe you get a couple of close-outs, but honestly, this whole period looks more exciting for a kite session than a paddle session. The wave quality is just poor.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no weird thermals to worry about. But with the wind never letting up and the swell direction being wrong, this is a rare 16-day blank. It’s one of those times where you just wait for the forecast to change. For now, I wouldn’t bother.
