The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for the local stretch.
Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up. The next couple of days are a write-off, but don’t lose hope. There’s some decent windows of cleaner surf, and a real standout potential at the end of the second week if you’re patient.
We’re starting with a bit of a dud on Monday the 7th. The wind is howling from the south and cross-shore, making a mess of the 5ft swell. The energy is weak (295), and the period is short. Just leave the board in the car for today.
Tuesday morning the 8th is where it starts to get interesting. It’s going to be glassy with zero wind and a clean 3ft SSE swell rolling in. The energy is moderate (407) and the period is a solid 10 seconds, so those longer lines will have a bit of push. For a beginner-friendly sandbar like Jacaraipe, this is a beautiful morning window. Crowds are possible here, but with that quality, it’ll be worth sharing.
The rest of the first week is a game of patience. Wednesday morning the 9th stays clean with a light offshore breeze, but the swell drops a touch. Thursday and Friday mornings have cross-offshore winds again, but the swell is either short-period or tiny. Saturday morning the 12th is clean, but the swell is a weak 4ft. The standout session in the first week is Tuesday morning the 8th.
Now, into the second week, we get a few more clean windows. Monday morning the 14th is glassy with a 4ft SSE swell and moderate energy (249). It’s a good, honest surf. Wednesday morning the 16th is another glassy, smaller day with 3ft swell.
But the real headline act is Saturday morning, the 19th of September. The forecast is showing a punchy 7ft SE swell with a moderate energy (711) and consistent shape. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which is manageable. That’s a serious step up in size – it’s going to be a handful for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s far enough out that it’s a promising call, but not a guarantee.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
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. 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.
