The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let's be honest, this 16-day stretch for Jacaraipe is a bit of a scratch-fest. You're gonna have to work for the good ones. The first chance you get isn't until Thursday morning, September 4th, and even that's a marginal call. We've got a few windows that will fire, but don't expect a straight week of perfection.

OK, let's break it down. The start is flat. Thursday, September 3rd, has a tiny 4ft swell from the East with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-onshore. Water temp is 23°, dead average for this time of year. Combined energy is weak (294). Not worth suiting up.

Friday morning, September 4th, is a step up. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a proper 12-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the North, and it's clean. Combined energy is moderate at 715. It's a sandbar break, fairly consistent, and good for beginners. If you're learning, this is your session.

Now, the real standout is Saturday morning, September 5th. Mark it down. The wind goes completely glassy – a dead calm from the ESE at only 5 km/h. You've got a 4ft swell from the NE, but it's a short 6-second period. That short period means the waves will be a bit lumpy and less powerful, but with glassy conditions, it'll be clean and fun. The combined energy is moderate at 336. It's the most user-friendly window of the whole forecast.

The following week is mostly a bust. From Sunday, September 6th, through Wednesday, September 10th, expect onshore wind and messy, small surf. Thursday morning, September 10th, looks clean with a 3ft SSE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it's tiny.

Into the second week, Friday morning, September 11th, sees a big pulse. There's a 7ft swell from the ENE with an 8-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind from the North. The combined energy is strong at 1030. But the file says that swell is too big for this break. That means it'll be a churning mess, only for the very experienced. The afternoon is a total wipeout with a fresh 30 km/h cross-on breeze.

Sunday morning, September 13th, is your next best bet. Clean conditions with a 5ft ENE swell at 9 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the North. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions." The combined energy is moderate at 560. This has a bit more push than the 5th, so it's a solid backup.

The last few days cycle back into onshore winds and bigger, sloppier waves. The 16th morning has a clean 5ft NE swell, but it's short period (6 secs). The 18th has a clean 4ft ENE swell, but it's weak.

So, bottom line: your two best bets are Saturday morning, September 5th, for the clean, glassy fun, and Sunday morning, September 13th, for the cleaner, slightly bigger waves. The rest is a bit of a lottery. That's the truth of it.

Rusty.

Information about the Jacaraipe Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Jacaraipe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jacaraipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jacaraipe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jacaraipe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jacaraipe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
