The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days for Jacaraipe, and honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off for any decent paddle. We’ve got a gap of about a week before any real standouts show up. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer comes on Saturday morning, 18th July. It’s only a 3ft swell from the SE, but with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be clean. The wave energy is weak (333), and it’s a sandbar break that’s fairly consistent, so it’s a good one for the beginners to get a few small ones. The crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might even get a bit of space.
Now, Sunday morning, 19th July, is where it starts to get interesting. Swell lifts to 5ft from the E, period a short 8 seconds, but with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions, it’s offering very good surf. The energy is moderate (510). This is a solid option for the weekend.
The real standout, the one you’d circle on the calendar, is Sunday morning, 26th July. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a very long 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong (1225). This is a powerful, clean morning with a cross-offshore breeze. The longer period at a sandbar can mean it breaks a bit straight, so it’s better for the crew who know how to pick the peak. It’s a morning for the experienced surfers, as the 6ft might be a bit much for the beginners.
The next morning, Monday, 27th July, also looks promising. A clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, again with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (536) and the conditions are very good. After that, the window closes again with a few days of small, messy stuff.
The final mention goes to Friday morning, 31st July. A clean 3ft swell from the SSE with a 15-second period, very long period groundswell, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (464). It’s a small, clean day for the longboard or a fun little fish.
So, to keep it simple: the 26th of July is the big one for the experts. The 19th and 27th are your best bets for a fun, clean session. Everything else is a bit of a gamble with the wind.
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.

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.
