The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the full rundown for Jacaraipe.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag for this sandbar. We’ve got some swell on the horizon, but the wind is gonna be the main player, turning a lot of sessions into a bumpy mess. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 74°, so no worries there – just your standard tropical warmth.
The first real chance to get wet is Friday morning, the 24th of July. It’s not a standout, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see for a few days. Early glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze will have the 4ft easterly swell (153 energy) looking pretty tempting. It’s a short period 8-second swell, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s a good chance to get a few.
Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s straight into the bin. The same goes for the whole weekend. Saturday (the 25th) and Sunday (the 26th) are a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and it’s just not worth paddling out. Expect a frustrating few days.
Monday the 27th of July morning is a glimmer of hope. We get a clean, cross-off breeze from the north, and a 2ft groundswell from the SSE (200 energy) with a long 12-second period. The shape will be better, and the paddle out will be easier between sets. It’s small, but clean. The afternoon blows out again, so be an early bird.
Tuesday the 28th is another clean morning, but the swell drops to a tiny 2ft. Hardly worth the effort. The rest of the week into the 30th is plagued by strong onshore winds and messy, short-period windswell. The swell is building, but the conditions are just poor.
The Standout – Mark your calendars for Friday the 31st of July. This is the one to aim for. The morning is looking glassy with a light northerly breeze. That 4ft swell from the NE (210 energy) will be a little raw with a 6-second period, but clean glassy conditions at Jacaraipe can make it fun. It’s the best combination of rideable surf and perfect wind we’ve got.
After that, we hit a bit of a dry patch. The first few days of August are small and wind-affected. The next real highlight comes on Tuesday the 4th of August. Another clean morning (cross-off N wind), with a 2ft groundswell from the SSE. This one has a very long 13-second period (289 energy). It’s a small, clean, long-period groundswell – perfect for a lazy morning cruise on the sandbar. The sets will be few and far between, but the waves that come through will be beautiful.
A couple more solid-looking mornings show up: Thursday the 6th of August is glassy and clean (3ft, SSE, 10s, 233 energy), and Wednesday the 5th of August is also glassy but with a smaller 3ft easterly swell. These are your fallback options if you miss the 31st.
So, the call is simple. This is a spot that rewards patience. The best bet is the glassy morning of Friday the 31st of July. The early slots on the 27th, 4th, 5th, and 6th are also worth a look if you're desperate. The rest of the time, it’s a choppy, blown-out mess and you’re better off doing something else.
Catch you on the sand.

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.
