The Lowdown
Right, pull up a stump. Rusty here. Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jacaraipe.
Truth be told, we’re in for a bit of a rough patch to start. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with shifty winds and average conditions. The surf is small, between 4ft and 5ft, coming from the east and east-northeast, but the wind is all over the shop. The combined wave energy is moderate (176 to 326), but it’s just not coming together. You’ll be scratching your head more than surfing.
The first real glimmer of hope is on Tuesday morning, 12 August. The wind is set to switch to a light north-northeasterly cross-off, which will clean things right up. The swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft from the east (period 8 seconds), and the energy is solid (262). It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner to intermediate. The water is sitting at a comfortable 74°, which is spot on average for this time of year.
Now, the one standout on the whole board is Monday morning, 18 August. This is the one we’ve got our eyes on. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 273. The wind is a light offshore from the north, so it’ll be glassy – that’s a major positive. Expect good, clean surf. It’s a sandbar break, so you might have to hunt a bit for the peak, but when you find it, it’ll be worth it. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s everyone’s game.
The run after that is a bit of a mixed bag. The 14th to the 16th sees a long-period groundswell from the south-southeast, with periods hitting 14 to 16 seconds. The energy is massive (up to 1865), but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The swell is too big and too straight for a beach break like this – it’s really a setup for a reef or point. Friday morning, 15 August, is the pick of that bunch, but it’s still marginal.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a bit of a slog. The best window is the early morning of the 18th. Get out there early, and you’ll be laughing.

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.
