The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Jacaraipe is serving up for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start for Jacaraipe. The first couple of days aren't worth paddling out for, with a lot of ordinary, poor, or choppy conditions from the afternoon of the 23rd right through the start of the week. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Friday morning on the 24th is the first real chance to get wet. We’ve got a small 4ft swell from the ENE, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, it’ll be clean. It’s not going to blow your mind—just some surfable waves with very ordinary conditions—but it’s a start. The combined energy is weak (159).
Saturday morning the 25th is similar, cleaner again with a light N wind and a tiny 3ft E swell. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and weak, with combined energy of just 109.
Sunday the 26th looks a bit more promising. The morning session sees a 3ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, giving a bit more shape. The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, and the forecast is for good surf conditions. The combined energy is a moderate 231. This is a decent window for a paddle.
The standout of the whole forecast is the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. The swell is predicted to pump up to 10ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 1462 – that’s very strong. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the N. That is a serious session. *However*, this is a big swell. At 10ft, it’s well over the 8ft mark, which means this is for experts only. It’s going to be a beast, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, stay out of the water. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s windswell, but with that much energy, it’s going to be powerful. The following morning on Thursday the 6th is also huge at 8ft from the ESE with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 1079, but the wind is a cross-shore from the NNE, making it a bit lumpy. Still, for the big-wave crew, that’s a window.
For the rest of the run, aside from those two big mornings, it’s a lot of blown-out, choppy afternoons and small, weak mornings. The end of the first week and into the second week is mostly a write-off with poor conditions, except for a few small, clean windows like the morning of Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August, which are just surfable and ordinary.
The best bet is clear: Sunday the 26th for a clean, fun-size session, or if you’re an expert, the morning of Wednesday, August 5th for a real hammering.

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.
