The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. It’s a rough outlook for Jacaraipe for the next couple of weeks. There are a few flickers of decent surf, but for the most part, this is a waiting game.
Starting out on Tuesday the 8th: it’s tiny knee-high surf at 0.9m from the SSE with an 11-second period, but the wind’s cross-on and it’s just marginal. Combined energy is moderate (482). The water’s sitting at 73°F, which is about average for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 9th all the way through to Monday the 14th, it’s a real dry spell. We see waves up to 1.8m (6ft), but it’s all short-period windswell (6-7 seconds) with fresh onshore winds making it lumpy and choppy. Not worth suiting up for.
Things perk up a little on Monday the 14th morning, with a pulse of SSE groundswell at 1.4m (5ft), 11-second period, and combined energy jumping to strong (771). Still, the wind is light cross-on and it’s only a marginal call. Tuesday the 15th morning is clean with light cross-off winds and 1.4m E swell, but again, marginal.
The standout is Friday the 18th morning. Jacaraipe (sandbar) lines up clean with a light N cross-off breeze at 6 mph, a 1.4m (5ft) ESE swell, and combined energy at a moderate 328. That’s the best window – glassy, clean, and the swell direction is close to the ideal E. It’s a good, easy wave for beginners, but expect a few others in the water. Saturday the 19th morning is also promising, with 1.5m (5ft) E swell and clean offshore NNW wind.
After that, it’s back to marginal or poor conditions, with strong onshore winds and lumpy surf right to the end. If you’re chasing something, the 18th and 19th mornings are your best bet.
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.
