The Lowdown

Wednesday morning at Jacaraipe (Espírito Santo) is where we get things rolling. There’s a clean 5ft ENE swell pushing through, with a light N cross-off wind holding it together. The sandbar is fairly consistent, so it’s worth a look for a beginner-friendly session. The combined energy is moderate at 487, and while the period is a touch short at 7 seconds, the surf should be clean and fun. Water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

That’s the only real window for the next few days. The rest of Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday is all chopped-up cross-shore mush, with winds picking up and the swell getting messy. Not worth paddling out. Sunday morning cleans up slightly but the swell drops to 4ft and the energy fades to 199 – more of a longboard glide than a proper session.

Then we hit a dry spell. Monday morning on the 10th is the next standout – glassy conditions, light E breeze, 5ft NE swell, and the energy jumps back up to 446. That’s the kind of morning where the sandbar lines up and it feels like the ocean finally cooperated. The period is still short at 6 seconds, but the clean surface makes up for it. After that, the swell dies right off, and we’re looking at a few days of small, weak SSE pulses with onshore winds and chop. Not much doing from the 11th through the 12th.

The second week starts to show some promise, but it’s a bit further out, so treat it as a lead. Thursday the 13th morning has clean 2ft SSE groundswell with a 12-second period, and the energy is at 302 – tiny but glassy. Friday the 14th morning is better, with 3ft SSE at 11 seconds and energy at 490. That’s a proper groundswell window, clean and offshore-friendly. But the real standout of the whole run looks like Saturday the 15th morning: 5ft SSE swell, 13-second period, light N cross-off, and energy cranking at 917. That’s the one to circle. The sandbar should be firing, and the consistency should be there. Just keep in mind it’s a week out, so things can shift.

Sunday the 16th morning is still promising – 4ft SSE at 14 seconds, energy at 732 – but the tide might throw a bit of a spanner in the works. After that, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore again, so the run ends pretty quietly. All in all, the first real session is Wednesday morning, the best clean window is Monday the 10th, and the standout to plan around is Saturday the 15th.

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.
