Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s showing for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.
First thing’s first – Saturday and Sunday are a total write-off. The wind’s all wrong, and the swell has no quality. Monday’s the same story. So we’re looking at a few days of nothing before anything decent comes together.
Now, circle Tuesday, July 7th. That morning is looking sweet. Clean conditions, light cross-offshore breeze from the north, and a solid 1.3m swell out of the SSE with an 11-second period. The combined energy is sitting at 567 (moderate to strong), so there’s some real push behind it. The water temp is around 75°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun for a morning session.
That clean window closes fast though – by afternoon the wind picks up and spoils it. Friday, July 10th morning is another chance. Smaller – 0.9m from the ESE – but again, light cross-offshore breeze and an 11-second period means clean, workable waves.
Saturday, July 11th morning is worth a look too. 1.3m swell from the SE, 12-second period, light offshore breeze. That’s a solid combo.
Then we get a real treat on Sunday, July 12th morning – glassy conditions, zero wind, and a 1.2m ESE swell. That’s as clean as it gets, though the long 12-second period might make it a bit straight for a beach break, but with no wind, it’ll look beautiful.
Monday, July 13th morning is probably the standout of the run. Clean again, 1.2m SSE swell, 12-second period, and a combined energy of 681 – that’s strong. There’s some serious power in those waves.
The second week gets less reliable. Friday, July 17th morning is one to note – 1.9m from the SSE, glassy, but only a 6-second period. That’s a big, lumpy swell for experienced folks only. The rest of that week is mostly short-period windswell with onshore winds.
So, my top picks are Tuesday, July 7th and Monday, July 13th mornings. Get those in your calendar.
I’ll be out there. Stay sharp.

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.
