The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Alright, let’s cut through it. The first week and a half around Jameos del Agua (Lanzarote) is pretty much a bust. Nothing worth paddling out for—lumpy, choppy, cross-shore junk for the first 11 days or so. A few mornings are clean, but the swell’s tiny and the energy’s weak (127 to 128 combined energy). Not worth the wax.
But hold on—Monday, September 14th afternoon, we get a glass-off. Wind drops to zero, dead calm. Swell’s only 3ft from the NNW, but it’s a long-period groundswell with 12 seconds between waves, so it’s got some grunt. Combined energy is moderate (365), and conditions are called “expect good surf.” That’s your window. Water temp’s about 75°F, a touch warmer than usual—nice. The swell direction suits this spot’s liking for a north swell, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. Only catch: this reef can get crowded, so expect company. That 12-second period is long enough to make the wave a bit straight on the reef, but it should still run.
Before that, Saturday September 12th afternoon has a clean 5ft from the NNE with some cross-off wind, but the period’s only 6 seconds—short and weak (300 combined energy). Surfable, but nothing special. After the 14th, it’s back to ordinary or poor. So aim for that Monday afternoon glass-off—it’s the one standout in a long stretch of nothing. Things can change, so keep watching.
