The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it: the next two weeks at Jacaraipe are mostly a grind, but there are a couple of moments where it cleans up and you’ll be glad you waited.

Starting Wednesday the 9th, the surf is a mess. Swell is around 5ft from the east with a weak 7-second period, but the northeast wind at 15 mph is making it choppy. Wave energy is moderate (382), but the conditions are poor. Not worth it.

Thursday the 10th is just as bad, with cross-shore winds and lumpy waves all day. Friday the 11th morning has a slight chance – around 5ft of east-northeast swell with a cross-off breeze, but it’s marginal, and the afternoon blows out. Saturday the 12th is similar. Sunday the 13th is a total washout with south swell and cross-shore chop.

Now, the first real window is Tuesday the 15th in the morning. Swell is 5ft from the east-northeast with an 8-second period, light north cross-off wind at 9 mph, and glassy, clean conditions. Energy is strong at 518. This is your best bet early on. The afternoon turns to shit again with a cross-on breeze.

Then we wait. Wednesday through Friday is messy and marginal, with rain around. Saturday the 19th morning is another standout: 6ft of east swell with light north cross-off winds, clean and punchy. Energy is moderate at 443. Get out early because the afternoon is cross-on chop. This might be a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, it’s fun.

Monday the 21st has a clean morning window too – 5ft, light winds, decent waves. The far end, around Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th, shows small but glassy conditions with light offshore winds, but the swell drops to around 3ft. Good for a longboard, not for much else.

Water is 73°F, right about average. So, mark your calendar for the 15th and the 19th mornings. Those are the ones. The rest is just waiting for the wind to drop.

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.
