The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the local surf situation for you.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be honest – the next week and a half is looking like a total bust. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-on or cross-off, and it’s just trashing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is tiny and weak, and the energy is pathetic. You’ll see a few mornings where it’s clean and the waves are just about surfable, but the size is so small it’s hard to get excited. The water temp is sitting at a mild 73°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year.
We’re looking at a long stretch of ordinary, forgettable conditions. The best of the early bunch is probably the morning of Tuesday, July 30th. It’s clean, with a light breeze and a little 4ft swell from the northeast, but it’s only got a 6-second period which is pretty junky, and the energy is weak (104). It’s just not enough to get the heart racing.
Things start to look a touch more promising on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th. Still small at 3ft from the east, but the wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy is picking up a bit (222), but it’s still a 7-second period, so it’s going to be a bit mushy and soft.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout is a long way off. Mark your calendars for the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. This is the one that has me talking. The wind is glassy. Dead flat calm. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the southeast, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, packing a ton of punch with an energy reading of 850. This is a very long period swell, which is going to be super clean and have proper shape. It’s a small wave, but it’ll be perfect. The only thing to keep in mind with a period that long is it can tend to stand up a bit square on a beach break, so it might be a bit tricky, but when it’s this clean and glassy, it’s going to be a dream. Just be aware it’s far out, so the forecast could shift, but right now, that’s the one to wait for.
The afternoon of that same day is a no-go thanks to onshore wind messing up the 4ft, 16-second swell.
So, to sum it up: the next week and a half is a write-off for anything worth paddling for. Hold out for that Wednesday, August 12th morning session. That’s your golden ticket.
Rusty.

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.
