The Lowdown
Right, let’s get into it.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Jameos del Agua over the next 16 days is a tough one. This is a reef setup (fairly consistent) that really wants the swell from the north to work. And while we’ve got plenty of north-northeast swell on the table, the wind is going to be a bit of a menace for most of it, just ripping cross-shore. We’re talking about persistent fresh breezes kicking up chop and lumpy conditions.
The water temp right now is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing too strange there.
The first real chance you’ve got to paddle out is on the morning of Thursday, September 4th. It’s small – just 3ft of swell – but the wind has dropped to a light westerly, giving us a clean look. The energy is low (143), so it’s not going to be pumping, but it might just be rideable. That afternoon, the swell drops off a cliff to 1ft, so you’ll want to be in the water early.
Then we hit a long, frustrating stretch. From Friday, September 5th all the way through to Monday, September 15th, the forecast is just a constant stream of poor surf conditions. The swell sticks around between 4ft and 8ft, but the wind is either a moderate or fresh cross-shore, or messier cross-onshore. It’ll be lumpy, choppy, and just not fun. Honestly, with those strong winds and the consistent cross-shore chop, this setup at a beach-and-reef break might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing worth paddling out for here.
Finally, there’s a glimmer on the last day of the forecast, Wednesday, September 16th. It’s a dawn patrol special. The swell is tiny again at 3ft, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds, and we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north. The energy is still modest (237), and the conditions are clean. It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate for a slide, that Wednesday morning is your only real option in the whole window.
So, to be clear, there’s no true standout here. The entire 16-day run is a write-off for decent waves. It’s a long, blank run.
