The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Jameos del Agua.
First up, the water temperature here is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. But honestly, the next week and a half is a tough watch. From Friday the 21st right through to Sunday the 30th, the story is mostly the same: poor surf conditions. The wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore, and it's blowing fresh to strong, which is making a mess of things. The swell is short-period and weak, with combined energy mostly under 300 (moderate), and often less than 200 (weak). There's a lot of lumpy, chop, and cross-chop out there.
The one real standout in this whole 16-day window is Monday morning, the 24th of August. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, giving us clean conditions. The swell is from the NNW at 5ft, with a period of 12 seconds, which is a nice groundswell. The combined energy is a solid 695 (moderate to strong). This is the best on offer, and it's the only time you'll see clean surf. For an intermediate-level reef break like Jameos del Agua, this is the session to aim for. The downside is that this spot can get crowded often, and it's only fairly consistent, so you'll want to be on it.
After that, it's back to the grind. The wind stays up and cross, and the swell gets bigger but messier. By the 28th of August, we're looking at 10ft of short-period NNE windswell, but with a strong cross-onshore wind, it's just a big, messy, dangerous zone – definitely only for experts, and even then, it's not great. The combined energy climbs to over 1000 (strong), but with period at 8 seconds and that wind, it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
The last few days into early September don't improve. The wind stays strong and cross, the swell stays short-period and lumpy. Honestly, there's nothing else to get excited about. If you're not on it Monday morning the 24th, you're probably not surfing here for the rest of the forecast.
