The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Jacaraipe in feet and miles. The first week looks like a bit of a battle with the wind. There’s some small swell around, but the wind is mostly side or side-on, keeping it bumpy and rough. The water temp is 74°, which is normal for this time of year.
The first real chance comes on Tuesday, August 4th, in the morning. The wind goes light from the north, giving us a clean side-off breeze. The waves are about 4ft from the east with a short 8-second period, so no real power. The combined energy is moderate (214). It’s a small window, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar, it’s the best you’ll see in this stretch.
After a few days of junk, the real highlight is Monday, August 10th, in the morning. The wind goes almost dead calm – a slight air from the north, leaving the surface glassy. Clean conditions at Jacaraipe are a real treat. The waves are 4ft from the northeast, still short-period at 6 seconds, but the energy is moderate (327). This is the session to go for. Small, clean, and welcoming.
Then the wind picks up again and the swell direction shifts. On Thursday, August 13th, in the morning, we get a small 3ft south swell with a much longer 12-second period. The wind is light and side-off from the north-northeast, so it’s clean. The energy is strong (427). That longer period will give the waves some shape and punch, but on a beach-and-sandbar setup, it might break a bit too straight. Still, if you want something with a bit more push, that’s your call.
The rest of the period is mostly onshore winds, small sloppy swell, and a few iffy moments. The second week is pretty much a loss for clean surf. The swell is small and the wind is a mess. Beginners, aim for the Tuesday the 4th and Monday the 10th mornings. More experienced surfers, give the Thursday the 13th morning a look.

A general guide to surfing at Jacaraipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
