The Lowdown

Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’re focused on Jacaraipe, a sandbar setup over in Brazil, and honestly, the start of the run is a bit of a frustrating tease. The swell is there, but the wind just isn’t playing ball for a clean paddle session.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t look like it’ll be until Monday the 14th of September. The morning’s looking promising with a glassy surface – that’s a rare treat – and a 4ft SSE swell pushing in. The wave energy is sitting at a moderate 311 and the air is dead still. That’s your window for a clean, uncrowded paddle on a Monday morning. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird happening there.

Monday afternoon gets a bit lumpier as the wind swings cross-onshore, so make the most of that early session.

Tuesday the 15th morning is another standout for the early birds. We’ve got a light offshore breeze from the NW grooming a 4ft ENE swell. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit flatter between sets, but it’s clean. The energy is moderate at 260. After that, conditions drop off again as the breeze picks up.

After a mid-week lull with smaller, choppier surf and onshore winds, we get another sniff of something decent on Monday the 21st. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft E swell (energy 238), but it’s still a bit weak. The real highlight in the second week is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September. It’s dead calm, glassy as a mirror, with a 4ft E swell and moderate energy at 237. It’s not big, but for a clean, fun paddle with no wind hassle, that’s your best bet.

There is a bigger pulse of swell (6ft to 6ft) showing up on Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and the period is short, so it’ll be messy. For a beach break, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean surfing one. Not for the faint-hearted.

Overall, the region is fairly consistent in offering *some* waves, but the quality windows are tight. The surf doesn’t stay poor forever around here, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye on the morning glass-offs. The best of the bunch is that Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 22nd mornings.

Stay stoked.

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.
