The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a few windows of clean conditions but plenty of wind to work through. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Saturday morning, the 8th of August. It’s only a 5ft swell from the NE, with a short 7-second period, but a light breeze keeps it from being total junk. Still, it’s a marginal call with that cross-onshore wind and small wind ripples, so temper your expectations. The energy is moderate at 203.

Sunday the 9th brings a cleaner look in the morning with a moderate cross-offshore breeze from the north. Swell is 5ft from the NE, period still short at 7 seconds, but the clean face will make it rideable. Energy bumps up to a solid moderate 366. The afternoon gets messy again though.

Now, the standout window lands on Monday morning, the 10th of August. This is the one to circle. Glassy conditions, ENE swell at 4ft, period still short at 7 seconds, but that glassy surface is a gift. The combined energy sits at 224 (moderate). For a sandbar break that’s fairly consistent, this is your best chance for clean, user-friendly waves. Expect some company though – crowds here are sometimes an issue.

The following week, things get more interesting but less reliable. The swell direction swings to the SSE, with periods stretching out to 14 seconds, meaning groundswell energy. That longer period will favour the shape but can make beach breaks wall up a bit. Thursday morning the 13th of August has a clean cross-offshore wind from the north, 4ft SSE swell at 14 seconds, energy strong at 574. Worth a look if you can pick your peak. Friday the 14th also offers a clean morning with 3ft SSE swell (11-second period, moderate energy at 292).

From the 15th onwards, it gets big. Swell heights push over 6ft and the energy numbers climb into the strong to very strong range (742 to 1554). By Sunday the 16th, we’re looking at 8ft of SE swell with a short 8-second period and moderate cross-onshore wind. That’s expert-only territory, and the setup at Jacaraipe may be better suited for kite surfers than paddle surfers during those bigger, wind-affected days.

Tuesday the 18th has another clean morning – 6ft from the ESE, 8-second period, cross-offshore wind – but again, it’s big and the period is short, so it’ll be lumpy under the hood. The 21st closes out with a clean Friday morning, 4ft from the east, but the wind and swell combo still only rates as marginal.

All in all, the best bet is that glassy Monday morning on the 10th. After that, the big swell windows are more for the experienced crew or the kite crowd. Keep an eye on those cleaner mornings in the second week, but they’re not as certain this far out.

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.
