The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
It’s a pretty quiet picture for the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a tough watch with small, messy, and wind-affected surf. We’ve got a few windows where things clean up, and one standout later in the month that’s worth keeping an eye on.
Looking at Jacaraipe (sandbar) first up. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for this time of year. The early part of the forecast is a write-off with poor conditions. Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd and 23rd stay small and crummy, with winds swinging around and creating chop. Not worth paddling out.
Friday morning the 24th of July is the first real glimmer. Swell around 4 ft from the ENE, period at 8 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind from the north. The combined energy is moderate at 372, and the surf looks clean. This is the best option for a surf in the first week. The afternoon gets blown out, so get it early.
Saturday morning the 25th drops off to 3 ft with a short period, and the energy is weak at 105. Sunday morning the 26th is glassy and tiny at 2 ft from the SSE, but with a 9-second period, it’s clean but very ordinary.
Monday morning the 27th has a 2 ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, which is a long period groundswell – it’ll have more shape but also longer waits between sets. The energy is moderate at 207, and it’s clean. Not a standout, but a decent early session.
The rest of that week into the start of August is a mix of small, onshore, and choppy surf. Nothing to get excited about, with a lot of days showing poor surf conditions.
The true standout shows up on the morning of Friday the 31st of July. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the NE, period at 6 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the north. The combined energy is moderate at 267, and the conditions are clean. That’s the pick of the whole run.
Then on Tuesday morning the 4th of August, we get another clean window with a 4 ft ENE swell, 7-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze. Energy is moderate at 209. It’s a decent option, but not as good as that Friday.
Overall, there’s a long gap of poor surf for the first few days, then a few clean mornings to aim for. The best waves will be on the morning of Friday the 31st of July at Jacaraipe. Get in the water early, because the afternoons are a mess.
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.
