The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a long-range look at what’s on offer for our local sandbar. Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and we’ve got to wade through some mediocre conditions to get to the few bright spots.
The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got poor to marginal conditions with choppy wind and weak, short-period swell. The only highlight in the first week is a brief moment very early on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. The wind goes light offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph, which will leave things clean, but the swell is still pretty weak at 4 ft from the SSE and the period is a long 13 seconds, so it might be a little fat and slow on the sandbar. It’s really more of a chance for a glassy paddle than a proper session.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the east with a short 8-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph. The combined swell energy is a powerful 1293 (moderate wave energy). Now, that’s a proper push of energy, but that size is getting into expert-only territory, especially with that short period making it dumpy. If you’re not on your game, sit this one out. The wind is right for good shape, so for the crew who can handle it, that Tuesday morning is the only real chance for a proper wave.
After that, it’s back to the grind. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August with a tiny 5 ft swell again, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The rest of that week and into the third week, the wind is consistently onshore or cross-shore, and the swell drops right off. Honestly, after that Tuesday morning, it’s a solid stretch of poor or marginal surf with nothing to recommend. It’s one of those runs where you just have to wait for the next system to roll in.
Signing off, 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.

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.
