The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Jameos del Agua over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The wind is relentless – stuck cross or cross-on from the NNE for days on end, and it’s blowing fresh to strong all the way. That’s going to keep the surface messy and lumpy, with a messy cross-chop developing as the swell builds. There’s no clean window to speak of in the first week and a half.
The swell starts off around 6 ft from the NNE with a short, weak period of 7 seconds (combined energy 283), and it’s all labelled “poor surf conditions” right through. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – about 3° above average, so you’ll notice it’s a little balmy.
By Sunday the 19th, the swell lifts to 6–7 ft (energy 405–445), but the wind is still cross and fresh, so it’s not going to clean up. Into Monday the 20th, we’re seeing 8 ft with a bit more energy (619–653), but the wind picks up to a strong breeze, making it even messier. This pattern holds nearly every day: the swell actually gets solid, reaching 8 ft by the 26th and even 10 ft by the 28th and 29th, with energy climbing into four-digit territory (889–1618), but the wind never lets up. It’s either cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment stays “poor surf conditions” right through to the end of July.
The only flicker of something different comes on the 1st of August. The swell holds at 10 ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds – a little more groundswell character – and the wind drops to a fresh breeze, still cross. The energy is strong (2194–2542), and the comment shifts to “marginal,” which is at least a step up. But with the wind still cross, it’s going to be lumpy. That’s a big wave, well over 8 ft, so it’s only for the experienced crew. And with the shortish period, it’s not going to be the cleanest.
The whole 16-day window is a blank run for good surf. The wind just won’t play ball. Still, Jameos del Agua is a fairly consistent reef break, and it doesn’t stay poor for long around here. Forecasts can change. But for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
