The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it.
The next couple of weeks look pretty ordinary overall for us here. The swell is going to be inconsistent, and the wind is going to be a problem more often than not. Don't expect a classic run of clean surf. We'll have a few windows where it might be worth a look, but you'll have to pick your moments.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on the morning of Wednesday the 11th. The swell is coming from the ENE at 5ft with a short period of 7 seconds, so it's not going to have much punch. The combined energy is moderate (658). The wind is a cross-offshore from the north, so the surface will be clean. The water is about average for this time of year. It's a sandbar break, fairly consistent, and it's a beginner-friendly spot. You might have company though, crowds are possible. This is about as good as it gets in the first week.
After that, things get messy. The wind swings onshore and the surf quality drops out through Thursday and the weekend. There's a bit of a bump on Monday the 16th with a 3ft SSE swell (308 energy), and another on Tuesday the 17th, but the wind is just not cooperating. The morning of the 19th (Saturday) sees a 5ft wave from the ENE with a clean cross-offshore wind, but the period is tiny at 5 seconds, so it's going to be weak and bumpy. Don't get excited.
The standout window is actually the morning of Sunday the 20th. The wind goes glassy, absolutely flat calm, and there's a 4ft swell from the NE (295 energy). It's not a big swell, but with those conditions, the surface will be like a mirror. That is your best bet for a fun, clean session. The crowds are likely to be there for that one.
The last week goes quiet. There are small, clean moments on the 22nd and 24th, but the swell is tiny and weak. Nothing to write home about.
So, to sum it up: the morning of the 11th is your best early call, but the morning of the 20th with the glassy conditions is the real standout. Don't expect much else.

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.
