The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water is sitting at a pretty standard 74°F for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The bad news is that the first week is a real struggle. We’ve got a few days of onshore and cross-shore winds that are making a mess of things, with swell energy in the moderate range (215 to 362). Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th is a write-off – it’s just not worth paddling out.
We hit a brief glimmer on Monday morning, August 10th. It’s glassy, with a clean 4ft swell from the ENE (7 seconds). The energy is moderate (204), but that glassy wind is the key. It’s small, so it’s a good one for the beginners this break is known for, but don't expect much push.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday morning, August 13th. The wind is a crisp cross-offshore from the NNE, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE with a long 13-second period. That long period means real groundswell, and with a combined energy of 572 (moderate), it’s got some poke. The setup is clean, and this is about as good as it gets in the window. Just be aware that this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
After that, the wind shifts again and the conditions get messy through the 14th and 15th, even though the swell is building. Sunday morning, August 16th, could be another look. It’s small at 3ft from the SSE, but the wind is glassy again. A good option for a longboard or a fun board.
Heading into the second week, things get a bit more promising but less certain. Tuesday morning, August 18th sees a 7ft swell from the ESE (9 seconds), but the combined energy is strong (1015). That’s pushing the size limit for this beginner-friendly sandbar, and the wind is a strong cross-off. It’s going to be a powerful, tricky wave, likely only for the experienced crew.
The absolute best bet of the whole outlook, though, is Thursday morning, August 20th. We’ve got glassy conditions, a 5ft swell from the E (9 seconds), and a combined energy of 544. It’s not the biggest, but with that glassy wind and a solid, workable size, it’s going to be fun and clean. This is the one.
For the rest of the 21st and 22nd, the wind kicks back onshore, putting a cap on things. It’s a waiting game, but August 13th and 20th are the mornings to lock in.
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.
