The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let’s talk surf. This forecast for Jacaraipe is pretty bleak overall, so don’t rush down to the beach.
Starting Tuesday the 15th, the morning is clean with a 3ft easterly swell and offshore wind, but the energy is weak (224). It’s small and barely breaking. By the afternoon, the wind cranks onshore at 18 mph and it gets lumpy. We’ve got a stretch of a few days where nothing is worth a paddle. Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with clean 3ft waves, but it’s inconsistent. Thursday through the weekend is a write-off with cross-onshore winds, rain, and messy surf from 2ft to 5ft.
Monday the 21st gives us a cleaner window with 5ft to 5ft waves and offshore breezes. The energy climbs to 345, but it’s still just marginal. On Wednesday the 23rd, the swell hits 6ft in the afternoon, but the onshore wind kicks up to 18 mph and blows it out again. The energy is there (450), but the surface is a mess.
The one bright spot in all this is Sunday the 27th of September. Early morning the wind is offshore, the waves are a solid 7ft from the northeast, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 812. That’s a lot of water moving. But listen – the forecast is clear that it might be too big for this break. This is big, powerful surf, only for experienced surfers. If you’re not solid, stay on the beach.
Water temperature is a normal 73°F for this time of year. Nothing unusual.
After the 27th, the swell drops fast. Monday the 28th morning has 3ft waves but the wind is light and the energy is low at 230. Into the first days of October, we see some long period swell around 14 to 15 seconds, but the wind is howling at 21 mph. That long period stuff is hard to ride on a sandbar anyway.
Best advice: if you’re a beginner, you might find a fun little window on the 16th or 21st. If you’re a charger, mark Sunday the 27th on your calendar, but treat it with respect. For the rest, keep your board in the car and wait for better days.

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.
