The Lowdown

Alright, listen up, it's Rusty. I've got the lowdown on the Lanzarote scene for you, and we're looking at Jameos del Agua, a reef break that's fairly consistent and fairly exposed. The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, 73°, which is a couple of degrees up on the usual – nice for a summer dip.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, it's a bit of a rough patch. The whole first week, from Friday the 17th right through to the end of July, the wind is a relentless cross-shore, mostly from the NNE, and it's pumping at 18 to 25 mph. That's a fresh to strong breeze, and it's just mangling the waves. We've got a 6 ft to 7 ft NNE windswell running, but with a short period of just 7-8 seconds, it's all chop and no shape. The combined energy is moderate (283-682), but it's all for nothing. The waves are just lumpy, messy, and poor. There's a real gap in quality here – don't even bother.

Now, we get into the first week of August, and things start to look a little different. On Saturday the 1st of August, the morning looks like a real window of opportunity. The wind drops right out to a glassy 3 mph from the SE. The swell is a small 4 ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds, so it's not a classic groundswell, but it's surfable. The combined energy is weak (171), but with those clean, glassy conditions, it's the best we've seen. The afternoon is a step up, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NW making it clean. The swell picks up slightly to 5 ft from the NE (224), and the conditions are described as 'clean'. That's your best bet for the whole outlook.

Looking further ahead, on Monday the 27th of July, the swell goes massive. We're talking 12 ft NNE swell at 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a huge 2042. But this is a problem. The data says it's "too big for this break." It's an expert-only day, and even then, it's very likely to be a close-out. The wind is still a fresh cross-shore, so it's not going to be pretty. The rest of the first week of August stays small and weak, with the wind turning cross-onshore, so it's back to poor conditions.

So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a write-off thanks to the wind. The standout is the glassy conditions on Saturday morning, August 1st, with a small, clean swell. The other possible highlight is the massive swell on Monday the 27th, but that's for experts only and it's a risky call. For the rest of us, keep your eyes on the forecast for that first Saturday in August.

Rusty.
